- "To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child. " -NAEYC
- This ideal is significant in my professional life because I believe we have to approach every child with this thought. If we go into working with children of any age thinking they are all the same, we will not set them up for success. We need to see each child as a unique individual. This ideal drives my work each day.
- "To create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development and that respect their dignity and their contributions. " -NAEYC
- This ideal is extremely important to me in my professional work. I work with a population of children who have started life in extremely unsafe and unfortunate circumstances. I work each and every day to provide and safe environment for all of our children. I believe safe and healthy environments allow children to learn, grow, and develop more.
- "We shall demonstrate our respect and appreciation for all families' beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture relative to their nurturance and support of their children toward achieving meaningful and relevant priorities and outcomes families' desire for themselves and their children." -DEC
- I believe, to be successful with families, we need to be respectful of what they are coming from. We should be aware of their beliefs and values and use show respect. We should also allow them to share all of the above with their child's school and classroom to promote respect of all cultures to our younger generation.
