Our Promise to ChildrenFor the children and for our nation, I affirm my personal
commitment to all young children and their families.I promise to model behaviors that solve problems without
resorting to aggression or violence and to teach tolerance and respect for differences.
I will serve as an advocate for children, families, and the early childhood profession.
I promise to maintain the highest standards of professional practice and ethical conduct.
I will be open to new ideas and value the suggestions of others while I continue to learn, grow, and contribute as an
early childhood professional.I know that my work makes a difference. I vow to help make
the future bright, safe, and productive for all children.
