These are three of the code of ethic's either stated by NAEYC or the DEC. Although all of the ethic's standards stated are very important, these are the ones that are most meaningful to me.
1.) To recognize and respect the unique qualities,
abilities, and potential of each child.
This is important to me because all children are different, and they all come from unique families and have dealt with unique situations. It is extremely important that we see the uniqueness in each child.
2.) To work with families to provide a safe and
smooth transition as children and families move from
one program to the next.
Many times we focus on what we do with the child and their family while they are in our care. We must also think about the child and the family once they are no longer in our care, and help them to move on to what is next for them in their life. This is important to me because it is often overlooked, and is something that i think many people need to improve on.
2.) We shall build relationships with individual children and families while individualizing the curricula
and learning environments to facilitate young children’s development and learning.
This is similar to my #1, but adds individualizing the curriculum to meet the needs of each and every single child. It is very important to realize the needs and goals of each child as an individual, as well as the group when planning the environments as well as the activities that will be available.
I worked in IPS, our inner-city public education system. I loved it! I am glad that you also love working with this population of children. They need good role models and the attention of a caring individual. Best wishes!!!
