At Kids First Academy, we feel it is a privilege to put your child first when s/he is under our care. Adhering to the NAEYC Code of Ethics and Statement of Commitment is foundational to our commitment to our young students. It establishes clear guidelines for responsible behavior and solving problems encountered with early childhood care and education. The NAEYC Code of ethical conduct defines responsibilities of early childhood educators.
The following core values of the NAEYC Code of Ethics are taken from the National Association for the Education of Young Children:
- Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle
- Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn
- Appreciate and support the bond between the child and family
- Recognize that children are best understood and supported in the context of family, culture,* community, and society
- Respect the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and colleague) Respect diversity in children, families, and colleagues
- Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect
