NAEYC and DEC

NAEYC:

To be familiar with the knowledge base of early

childhood care and education and to stay informed

through continuing education and training.

DEC:

We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value

and human potential of each child.
http://www.dec-sped.org/uploads/docs/about_dec/position_concept_papers/Code%20of%20Ethics_updated_Aug2009.pdf

I chose these two because we must demonstrate at all times in our behavior  and language as professionals the respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child. We must also stay on top of our knowledge as educators and continue getting knowledge so that we can grow and help others.

Louise Derman Sparks

Her passion and love for children is great. She loves what she does and she also stated that "Children's preschool years are the most critical years". They are the most critical years because it can make or break the child.
