Module 10: Professional Practice

Professional Code of Ethics

Module 10 Menu

Page 6


A “profession” by the dictionary’s definition is an occupation requiring considerable training and specialized study.  A professional is a skilled practitioner who conforms to the standards of her profession. “Professionalism” refers to status, methods, character, or standards.  

For early learning professionals, this means:

  • Advocating for children and the high-quality early care and education they deserve.
  • Working in collaboration with others.
  • Being curious; seeking out information in order to gain an understanding of children.
  • Accepting responsibility.


Our national professional organization, National Association for the Education of Young Children, defines early childhood professionals as:

"Individuals who provide direct services to young children (from birth through age 8) and their families, as well as those who administer the programs in which these individuals work and those who provide professional development for these individuals."

In practical terms, this means that everyone from the child care provider and teacher to those who drive the bus need to strive to raise that "professionalism" bar.  This requires some work.  Young children deserve to be surrounded by those who are committed to excellence every day. Professionals encourage children's academic, social, emotional, and ethical development, while creating environments that are safe for learning and infused with joyfulness and inspiration.  They help children build competence and confidence in their abilities as learners and citizens of the classroom. Children, families, schools and communities thrive when they are supported by inspiring, dedicated professionals.
