A prospective employer who is reading your cover letter will be evaluating your enthusiasm for teaching as well as communication skills. An early childhood teacher cover letter will follow the pattern of a standard business cover letter. In this the cover letter will be divided in three different paragraphs.
The introductory paragraph will have to be intimidating. However, while writing a teaching cover letter you will have to convey the basic information in the most compelling way. You will have to address a few points like why you are writing this cover letter, the position you wish to apply for, where you came to know about this position and how are you the strongest candidate for this job.
The second paragraph is usually about the qualifications. In this paragraph, you will have to more specific and not generic. Read the job advertisement carefully and mention all the required information. Do not forget to add your strengths and mention two to three points describing your effectiveness as a teacher.
The last paragraph should be more of a request paragraph. Before you are about to close the covering letter be bold and ask the employer to consider your qualifications for the desired job. Here is an example early childhood teacher cover letter, which will help you further.
