Introduction

The hallmark of any profession is the incorporation of a set of standards by which its members abide. This updated Code of Ethics remains an aspirational document and the pride of our profession. In tandem with globalization, the emphasis on 21st Century Skills and current research findings, complements the Nurturing Early Learners (NEL 2013, MOE), the Early Year Development Framework (EYDF, 2012 MSF), and the Skills Framework for the Early Childhood Care & Education (2015).

Purpose of this Handbook

The Code of Ethics Handbook acts as a companion for early childhood educators and practitioners who may have to grapple with commonly faced yet at times complicated issues. It provides case studies demonstrating how the Code of Ethics can be applied to a diverse range of contexts that early childhood educators encounter every day in their work with children, families, the community, the profession, and employers. The Handbook guides professionals as they deliberate on the ongoing question: “What might an ethical early childhood educator do in this situation?”

As early childhood educators, we have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards of professionalism in our work, while acting in the best interest and well-being of children and their families. Educators and leaders of the profession are constantly making decisions that affect young children revolving around family values, home culture and language, individual development, and program policies. When making such decisions, educators need to act with professional integrity, due diligence, respect, and competence. This Handbook sets out to educate, inspire and empower early educators and leaders in critical thinking and in exploring ways to resolve ethical dilemmas.
