The National Association of Child Care Professionals
The nation's leader among associations serving child care owners, directors, and administrators. The organization's goal is to improve, enhance and strengthen the credibility of the people who lead the child care industry by providing membership services and benefits. NACCP is the only association exclusively dedicated to child care management without regard to a center's tax status and corporate sponsorship.
National Association of Child Care Professionals Code of Ethics
The National Association of Child Care Professionals is an association of people who are leaders in the field of early care and education. As an association, we believe that child care is a profession and that it is our responsibility as professional women and men to lead our centers in an ethical manner. Recognizing that the association is a vital link in this process, we determine to govern our individual centers as follows:
1. To maintain the ethical standards of the National Association of Child Care Professionals to more effectively serve our children, their parents, and the field.
2. To continually remember that ours is a service industry. We are committed to providing quality child care to our children and their families, and we place this service above personal gain.
3. To conduct our business in a way that will both maintain goodwill within the field and build the confidence of parents, the community, and fellow professionals.
4. To cooperatively work with parents and faithfully deliver the kind of service promised to them, whether orally, in writing, or implied.
5. To charge a fair tuition that will enable us to pay a fair living wage to the director and staff at our centers.
6. To maintain the appropriate child-to-staff ratios that will ensure provision of quality service to our children and their families.
7. To hire qualified individuals and to train them to work within the guidelines of this code of ethics.
8. To avoid sowing discontent among the employees of competitors with the purpose of embarrassing or hindering their business.
9. To avoid possible damage to a competitor’s image by purposefully misleading parents, members of the community, or fellow professionals.
10. To support the policies and programs of our association and to participate in its regional and national activities.
11. To conduct ourselves at all times in a way that will bring credit to our association and the child care field.
The privilege of membership in the National Association of Child Care Professionals is granted to those who make a professional commitment to the field of child care. In turn, the resources of this association are dedicated to assisting members in areas of professional growth.
