We shall advocate for equal access to high quality service and supports for all children and families to enhance their quality of lives.

I chose these ideals of the code of ethics because they spoke to me on a higher level than the others.  All of the code of ethics were however very important towards the early childhood care and education of children and families.  The first code of ethics spoke to me because it focuses on training and continued education on behalf of the educators.  There is a constant change in the field of education and being on top of those changes will allow you to better teach your students and assist their families.  The second code allowed me to gain meaning because it allows support for all children, no matter their circumstances or conditions.  The third code that is meaningful to me because it allows educators the opportunity to have an environment where they feel comfortable enough to speak about things that may need changing that can benefit children more or to implement plans so that there can be a better understanding of ways to complete a task.  The final code that was meaningful to me discussed that all children deserve the best of quality services so that in the future their lives may be changed and they will be able to become better and more productive individuals within our communities and societies.
