Dear Mrs. Badger: This letter and resume is in regards to the Preschool Teaching position opening at your center. I feel I am fully capable and qualified to fill this important position. I am confident I would be an asset to the teaching staff and the center at Apple Tree. In my years of experience, I have had the opportunity to teach a diverse setting; which includes exceptional children and children from multiple backgrounds. In all situations, I have learned to create a positive relationship with all that may be in a childs life such as therapists, families, Child Protections Services, teachers, and others that play an important role in the growth and development of a child. I know the importance of making sure a childs environment is suitable for his or her developmental needs including emotional, physical, cognitive, and language. I take pride in making sure a child is safe, healthy, and supported but also making sure the child is challenged and having fun all at the same time. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with you personally about my qualifications and accomplishments.
