Mrs. Jones,
I am intrigued and interested in your Preschool Teacher position
that you have available at your childcare center. I feel that I will be a
perfect fit for your program. I come offering classroom experience,
knowledge, and excitement towards teaching. I would be honored to
join your accredited childcare facility as an employee.
I have been working with young children since 2008. In that time,
I have been given the opportunity to work in different environments
and settings with all age groups of children. I am devoted to the field of
early childhood education and bring a lot of value and assets along
with me.
When working with children, I always ensure that I have
engaging, active, and fun experiences planned with the children that
promote learning in a safe and fun environment. Learning through
discovery and play is essential for the children to feel comfortable and
be able to express themselves. In my classroom, I promote learning in
a variety of ways.
My greatest attribute to your center would be my drive and
determination to complete my job. Creating a positive atmosphere for
children to learn is the key to a successful classroom. I have the
balance, flexibility, adaptability, excitement, and enthusiasm to run a
quality preschool classroom.
I would be interested in discussing my qualifications and
credentials with you. I feel that I would be a great addition to your
team of teachers. Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to
talking with you.
Sincerely,

Michelle Thornburgh
