A note of professional thanks,

I want to express my deep appreciation for the help and support you have offered me in this class. I feel very grateful to you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my many questions. Without your help, I doubt I would have been able to complete this class in such a proficient and timely manner.
I consider myself very fortunate for having a chance to work with a person of your caliber. Working with you was a great learning experience for me. I really value the knowledge and insight you have, and your willingness to share it with me. I credit you for the success of this class as well as for my own professional growth. I thank you for that.

You have truly inspired me to work with sincerity and dedication. I am looking forward to implementing all of your valuable suggestions.

Thank you once again for showing me how one can be an exemplary and an excellent colleague. I consider you not only a colleague, but a valuable mentor and friend.

Thanks and you will always be appreciated.

Examining Codes Of Ethics In Early Childhood

When I became an educator, I knew I would be faced with a lot of obstacles in this field. There has been many resources to help me along the way.


1. Ensure that programs for young children are based on current knowledge and research of child      development and early childhood education (NAEYC, 2005).

2. Continue to learn, grow, and contribute as a professional (NAEYC, 2005).

3. We shall empower families with information and resources so that they are informed consumers
of services for their children (DEC, 2009).


I felt like these three were very meaningful to me because they help me educate my self more daily and the families of our young children in Early Childhood Education.
