NAEYC Codes of Ethics

Ethical Responsibilities to Families

I-2.3—To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program. Around the 2nd week in school, the parents or family members are ask to attend the child or children school. When they arrive, I welcome them for coming to our school. I talk about the different centers their child or children go on a daily basis. I also talk about things that we are going to do in the future. I have an activity for the parents or family members so they know some of the activities that their child or child do. At the end, I ask the parents or family members do that have any questions.

I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child. I always look for something positive from the children so that can share with their classmates who may not know or have problems. I think that all children have potential, so I let all my children participant in something.

I-1.12—To work with families to provide a safe and smooth transition as children and families move from one program to the next. At the end of the school year, our school has a Transition Day for the parents and children. This makes the parents and children aware of what to expect the next year. We have one activity for the parents and children do together so that they will feel comfortable with the activity and the next year teacher.

Mom- I remember when my mom use to read me night stories before I go to bed. I use to love when it was cold outside she will fix cold breakfast at night. My mom and I were so close on Friday’s or Saturday’s will go out on mother-daughter days. She means so much to me I don’t know what I would do without her. I remember when she took me out to try on dresses for church, seeing that smile on my mom face really made me happy. Dad- Wooahh….Lots of things to say here. I am so crazy about my dad; I’m a daddy’s girl. I loved when my dad use to take me out to feed the ducks at the levee. I use to run after them, I forgot that they was in the water one day, I almost drown. I remember when we use to go to church on Sunday’s and I use to be singing with the choir. The funniest part about it is when we use to sneak out the house and go to Wal-Mart. Mrs. King- She’s very special to me, she was my bus driver as a child. I use to like when after school, she will take me out to eat, when she finished her bus routes. We use play games while sitting at the table waiting on our food. Mrs. King and I were so close that I called her my mom. I use to love going over her house playing with her kids. This day, I still call her mother because I have a daughter by one of her sons. Keba- There’s so much I can say about my sister. We went through so much together; we had our ups and downs. When were little girls we use to play with our dolls. I remember when I burned all the hair off her doll head. My sister and I got into it that day over the doll and some food. We act like were real sisters but we are just best friends that stayed together our whole childhood. Mrs. Hicks- My third grade teacher and the best one I ever had. Mrs. Hicks loved taking me to church with her and her 2 daughters. I had fun when we went on a field trip to Jackson, Mississippi. I forgot I was in a museum and I screamed when I saw a big snake. Mrs. Hicks ran to me and put her hand over my mouth. I hated when she had to go to another school and she got her number changed. I still see her know in random stores shopping with her daughters.

"Being happy is something you have to learn. I often surprise myself by saying "Wow, this is it. I guess I'm happy. I got a home I love. A career that I love. I'm even feeling more and more at peace with myself." If there's something else to happiness, let me know. I'm ambitious for that, too." - Harrison Ford
