Ideals on Ethics in Early Childhood Education

As an Educator, I am face with many decisions on a daily basis.Guidelines are used to set forth a balance to resolve common dilemmas in Early Childhood and Education.

1. To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training (NAEYC, 2005).


2.We shall collaborate with families and colleagues in setting meaningful and relevant goals and priorities throughout the intervention process including the full disclosure of the nature, risk, potential outcomes of any interventions(DEC,2009).


3.To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child(NAEYC, 2005)


I feel these ideals are very imperative in the Early Childhood  for improving the lives of young children and their families.
