Dear ATCAA Head Start:
Thank you for taking the time to review my cover letter and resume. I am very excited to be considered for the position as Lead Center Teacher for Blue Bell Head Start Full Inclusion Center. I have worked with Head Start for three years so I fully understand what is to be expected of a Lead Center Teacher. I know the how to plan and implement the curriculum according to Head Start standards. I am proficient in Developmentally Appropriate Practices, understanding the importance of how children grow and develop, what are age appropriate activities and experiences, and how respect for families culture all plays a part in the education of children as well as their families. I know how to encourage parent involvement though developing a mutual parent/teacher relationship built on trust and respect. I have two years of experience in supervising and leading staff, promoting a positive and professional work environment. I am very organized, have excellent written and oral communication skills, and have a passion for working in the Early Childhood Education field. I would love the opportunity to work in the Full Inclusion setting so that I may encourage the development of both typically developing children as well as those with Special Needs.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jessica Holden
