Director Cummings:

As a child-care and education professional with a record of progressively responsible experiences, I feel qualified for the preschool director position advertised in the Star Tribune. The enclosed resume begins with an overview of my greatest assets and those most relevant for this post. They include:

• Over 9 years of experience within home and school settings, teaching and caring for children aged 2 months to 7 years.

• Commitment to needs of infants, preschoolers, and kindergarteners and a record reflecting learning and loving.

• Background including courses in Childhood Development, Early Childhood Education, and Educational Psychology.

I have contributed to the educational and care efforts of several recognized preschools. In these settings I observed and supported a number of creative, focused, and effective administrators. Each role model has taught me much, and I now wish to implement their lessons as the Director of the Any Preschool. I wish to be a child- and parent-focused, staff-sensitive, and, yes, mission- and budget-directed leader of inspired teachers, aides, and others. During an interview, I can learn your vision for an exceptional preschool program and share how I can transform it into a day-to-day reality for some time to come.

I look forward to speaking with you regarding how my qualifications meet your expectations of the next Any Pre School Director. To assist with your deliberation, I have asked a person on the attached reference page to contact you regarding my abilities. If you wish additional supporting materials, including lesson plans or student progress reports, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,

Chris Smith
