Hiring Manager

Sunnyside Day Care

10 High Park Blvd.

Toronto, ON (M6R 1M4)

RE: Teacher position (Early Childhood Educator)

Dear Hiring Manager:

Please accept the enclosed resume for my application as a teacher for Sunnyside Day

Care, which was posted online through childcareadvantage.ca. I have so much

interest in entering your centre and joining your team, and have enclosed my resume

for your review and consideration.

I am a graduate from the Early Childhood Education Diploma program at Centennial

College. In this program, I learned how to assess and consider the developmental

needs of children through field placements and class lectures. With regards to field

placements, I have gained excellent skills in dealing with different age levels - from

infants to school-age; I have practiced positive guidance strategies; and I have

applied my knowledge in program planning, based on children's cues and interests.

Also, I have successfully handled different working environments - from a privately

owned centre, a city run centre, and to a Toronto District School Board classroom. On

the other hand, my in-class performances were also highly regarded by my professors

based on their assessments and reviews.

It would be an honour to be part of Sunnyside Day Care. The chance to work with a

team who share the same belief, that children should be active participants in

constructing their learning, will be a privilege for me.

I would be most pleased to discuss my qualifications further with you, during your most

convenient time. I can be reached at (416) 890-4056 or by e-mail at

[email protected]. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look

forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully yours,

Khiara Remedios G. Albaran
