Professionals should be capable to work professionally and apply their knowledge and what they have learned in their filed in a way that the others cannot, because they don’t have the knowledge that the professionals have. A good example of that is the medical oath the doctors say before they start to work in their filed.The National Association For The Education of young Children code of ethics is a good example of professional ethics standers in the filed of early childhood education.  NAEYC has its own code of ethics, which defines how individuals and corporates should operate in the filed of educating our precious young children. The core values in the NAEYC code of ethics are

• Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle
