NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct

We, as early childhood professionals, practice within
the principles and guidelines outlined below as well as uphold the laws and regulations of our professional
licensure standards.
The Code’s purpose is to: (1) identify the key principles guiding our professional conduct; and (2) provide
guidance for practice and personal dilemmas in our conduct of research and practice. The Code is intended to
assist professionals in resolving conflicts as they arise in practice with children and families and with other
colleagues.
The following three codes of ethics that are meaningful , and significant to my professional life are;  




P-1.1—Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall
not participate in practices that are emotionally
damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading,
dangerous, exploitative, or intimidating to
children. This principle has precedence over all
others in this Code.


This code is number one. This supports my work as a professional to only engage with all children in a knowledgeable professional manner. I must always use ethical means of problem solving, and interacting with students.


P-1.2—We shall care for and educate children in
positive emotional and social environments that are
cognitively stimulating and that support each child’s
culture, language, ethnicity, and family structure.


This code embraces my teaching skills and my professional ability to facilitate a safe stimulating creative learning environment for each and every learner dependent upon their indiviual learning styles and needs.

I-1.11—To provide all children with experiences in a

language that they know, as well as support children

in maintaining the use of their home language and in

learning English

This embraces my professionalism to provide all second language learners with the right to converse, hear and see their language written and supported through out our classrooms. This supports and allows me to be an advocate for home language as it supports their second language skills.

"UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad"?
An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. 
When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: "UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad"?
UBUNTU in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are".
