Dear Employer,
My experience as an early childhood teacher has developed a passion and personal
commitment to three things: positive guidance, self-help skills, and maximizing individual
students cognitive abilities. I feel I am a perfect match for the open teacher position in your facility.
In my most recent positions as an assistant teacher, floater/sub and through my early
childhood classes at Ivy Tech Community College, I developed and implemented highly effective
lesson plans, plus created effective assessments that promote interest and knowledge retention. I
have also been involved in assisting children with autism in inclusive classrooms. What my resume
doesn't tell you, however, is the following:

Through my studies at Ivy Tech Community College, I acquired exceptional knowledge

on the NAEYC standards and work at a child care center that is NAYCE accredited.
I am familiar with Paths to Quality and work for a level four accredited child care center.
Ive followed the Creative Curriculum for infants, toddlers, and preschool aged children
and worked on goals and objectives.
I used the Ages and Stages questionnaire and have taken a two hour course with Debbie
Collins from Huffer Child Care Resource & Referral on observing and recording childrens
behavior.
Studied multiple childhood theorist such as, Jean Piaget, Howard Gardner, Lev Vygotsky,
and Maria Montessori.
I have researched and critiqued an array of articles and journals over early childhood
education.
I am a mother of two, ages two and five.
I have taken care of children for family and friends, ages newborn to 13.
I excel in creativity and organization in the classroom.

I am confident that my background in early childhood education will be a valuable asset to

working for you and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this position further. I am looking
forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Tykayla Bond
