Dear Hiring Manager,
Good Day!
I was delighted to find out about the opening for an Early Childhood Educator in your company. I was an Early Childhood Educator for eight years in Singapore and a Grade School Teacher for two years in the Philippines. For now, I am an International Student at The Confederation College, 1450 Nakina Dr, Thunder Bay, ON P7B 0E5. Taking a postgraduate diploma in Early Childhood Education.
I have robust experience applying a wide-ranging variety of teaching and assessment methodologies and contributing to the design and development of curriculum and teaching material during my previous teaching journey. My additional qualifications include my L2 English certification by ECDA (Early Childhood Development Agency) in Singapore, where I am qualified to care for infants, playgroups & pre-nursery groups and children from 2 months to 3 years of age. I have always gained my first-aid certification throughout my teaching career. I am certified in standard First Aid & CPR/ AED level C, expiring on October 5, 2027, with a Vulnerable sector police check. Moreover, I have developed music and movement talents that are likeable for learners, which I like to include in my classroom routine. I have always enjoyed engaging students through music and arts and have subsequently praised my creative instructional delivery.
My strong initiative, exceptional organizational skills, and ability to cater to a diverse range of learners allow me to play a crucial role in a fast-paced teaching environment. Furthermore, with my staff collaboration, I believe that I am prepared to become an immediate team player at your school. I'd love to learn more about the opening at your school and look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further. Please find attached my curriculum vitae and if you have any questions about my experiences, do not hesitate to contact me.
I thank you for your time and for considering my application. Yours Sincerely,
Ellen Grace F. Oconer
