NAEYC Ethical Code Of Conduct

Professional Conduct
Creative Minds is accredited by the National Association for the Education. Therefore, our agency stands by the guidance offered by the NAEYC Ethical Code of Conduct. It promotes responsible behavior and sets forth a common basis for resolving the principal ethical dilemmas encountered in early childhood care and education. We believe all childhood professionals need to be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education. Also, we believe it is critical to stay informed through continuing education and training (NAEYC, 2005, p. 2). For that reason, we will offer bi-monthly half day trainings and four in-services a year.
Furthermore, Creative Minds program practices are founded upon “current knowledge and research in the field of early childhood
We invite you to make “individualized adaptations in teaching strategies, learning environments, and curricula; and consult with the family so that each child benefits from the program” (NAEYC, 2005, p.3). This will help us effectively meet the needs of each child. We understand that families are of primary importance in children’s development since they are their primary teachers. The staff at Creative Minds comprehends 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” (NAEYC, 2005, p. 3). Therefore, our staff strives to develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve. Also, we strive to provide the community with high-quality early childhood care and education programs and services. We understand our responsibilities to the community are to provide programs that meet the diverse needs of families, to cooperate with agencies and professions that share the responsibility for children (NAEYC, 2005, p.
