Thanks for your support !

Dear Walden Colleagues,

During these 8 weeks we have gained so much knowledge about the importance of the Early Childhood field. I've grown as a practitioner thanks to our instructor and the insight from all of you. Dr. Kien has been very strict with APA style and I want to thank her for that because that helped me to gain better skills. When I first got a 100%, I was going nuts and felt very proud of myself. During our course postings I got to see the many perspectives from all of you. I discovered camp programs for children with special needs, inspirational quotes, helpful internet sites, and my classmate’s personal goals. It was a little challenging for me to keep up throughout the course due to the fact of my newborn baby girl and my oldest daughter’s assimilation. Besides all the controversy, my girls were my motivation, and my husband my support. Thanks to everyone and I hope to see you in the upcoming courses.

Examining Codes of Ethics

Children

We shall care for and educate children in positive emotional and social environments that are cognitively stimulating and that support each child’s culture, language, ethnicity, and family structure. (NAEYC)

The best way to demonstrate that we care is by respecting the child’s background and the value that it represents for a child.

Family

To listen to families, acknowledge and build upon their strengths and competencies, and learn from families as we support them in their task of nurturing children. (NAEYC)

Acknowledge that every family has something positive to contribute, no matter how minute it could be.

Co-Workers

To create and maintain a climate of trust and candor that will enable staff to speak and act in the best interests of children, families, and the field of early childhood care and education. (NAEYC)

We need to believe on the potential of our fellow co-workers because they will be the ambassadors of our thinking; we do these by stating a common goal and sharing our knowledge with them.

Professionalism
