NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct

Ethical Responsibilities to Families

Families are of primary importance in children’s

development. Because the family and the early childhood

practitioner have a common interest in the child’s

well-being, we acknowledge a primary responsibility to

bring about communication, cooperation, and collaboration

between the home and early childhood program

in ways that enhance the child’s development.

Ideals

I-2.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base related to

working effectively with families and to stay informed

through continuing education and training.

I-2.2—To develop relationships of mutual trust and

create partnerships with the families we serve.

I-2.3—To welcome all family members and encourage

them to participate in the program.

I choose this ethical code because I feel that it is necessary. As I worked to establish childrens early childhood foundation it is going to be important to have a good foundation with their families. Sometime to save the child you have to save the whole family.
