"We shall recognize our responsibility to improve the developmental outcomes of children and to
provide services and supports in a fair and equitable manner to all families and children." - DEC Code of Ethics
"We shall empower families with information and resources so that they are informed consumers
of services for their children." - DEC Code of Ethics"Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically
damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading, dangerous, exploitative, or intimidating to children."
- NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment
The three statements above are ideals that are of the utmost importance to me and my professional life. When I am
able to accomplish my goal of owning my own childcare program, these ideals will be at the forefront of the programs
creation. The first two states are from the DEC Code of Ethics. They both are focused on children and their families.
I believe that family is the most important system in a child's life and that childcare programs should respect this fact.
Childcare professionals should strive to be an effective teacher to all of their children and they should also strive to
help each of the children's families in the best way possible. The third statement that is mentioned above is from
NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment. This particular statement is one that should and
will be an overarching goal in my endeavor to open a childcare center.
