A Note of Thanks and Support

Hi everyone, this is the blog I would have created if anyone wants to leave a note on my blog.

However to everyone, it has been an interesting first course in this program, I hope that everyone would have been successful in this first step, and will continue to be throughout their specific program.

Examining Code of Ethics

The three code of ethics that I think mostly related to me are listed below. 

I-1.1   To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay

           informed through continuing education and training.

I-3A.1   To establish and maintain relationships of respect, trust, confidentiality, collaboration, and cooperation with co-workers.

I-4.1     To provide the community with high-quality early childhood care and education programs and services.

These three ideals are important because in order attain my aim, which is to be the major influence in the child’s life and thereby in the community, education being provided must be up to date and current. Also the delivery methods of the education must be known by those who would be providing the care, therefore training is necessary. Being familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood and education would be vital in providing the community with high-quality care and education and in doing so would help bring about the social change needed within the community. As I would have co-workers via employees, trust must be attained in order to be willing to allow them to provide child care. In gaining trust, confidentiality and their cooperation, the work environment would be in such a way that it assists in providing the children with high-quality care and education. Children usually sense tension and therefore such is unwanted within the early childhood environment.
