NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment

I-1.5—To create and maintain safe and healthy settings

that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and

physical development and that respect their dignity

and their contributions.

THIS IS MEANINGFUL TO ME BECAUSE THE ENVIRONMENT AFFECTS THE WAY A CHILD LEARNS.

I-1.9—To advocate for and ensure that all children,

including those with special needs, have access to the

support services needed to be successful.

I ORIGINALLY WANTED TO WORK SPECIFICALLY WITH CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES I GREW TO LOVE WORKING WITH THIS SPECIFIC POPULATION, NOT ALL PROFESSIONALS WHO WORKS WITH CHILDREN HAVE THAT SPECIAL LOVE TO WORK WITH CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES.

The Code of Ethics of the Division for Early Childhood (DEC)
