Ideals from DEC and NAEYC ethics...

Professional and Interpersonal Behavior (DEC)
"We shall build relationships with individual children and families while individualizing the curricula and learning environment to facilitate young children's development and learning." Trusting and caring relationships are foundational to what we do. This is a perfect summary.

(NAEYC) "Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle."  Childhood is such an important stage of life. It sets the foundation for the rest of your life!

(NAEYC) " Respect the dignity, worth and uniqueness in each individual (child, family member, and colleague)."
This speaks loudly because everyone is created differently and should be treated with dignity especially if expressing an opinion you don't agree with.
