It is very important for early childhood educators to know about the NAEYC code of ethics. There are four responsibilities for the code. The first is the ethical responsibility you have is to children. This means making sure children are safe, and learning needs are being taken care of. Educators need to make sure they are supporting children in the best way possible. The second ethical responsibility you have is to families. This meaning to make sure you are communicating with families about their child's progress. The third responsibility is to colleagues. They need to make sure they are all working together and.

They also need to make sure they are working with other to provide children with the resources they need like health care, food and shelter. They are many reasons why we have the code of ethics. The first is power and status of practitioners. Children are able to defend themselves and stand up for what they need. We need to make sure we are using our power and status to help children.

By having a good understanding, I will be able to handle different situations I might run into.
