Subject: Application for the early years educator position, 80%
Dear Nursery Manager,
Your nursery is looking for an early years educator at 80% for its toddler group. I have worked with children aged 18 months to 3 years for five years, and your nature-focused approach matches what I practise every day.
Qualified in early childhood education, I work at Crèche des Coccinelles as key person for a group of twelve children. I plan activities and outings, observe and record each child’s development and welcome parents every day. I introduced a weekly morning in the forest.
Your nature-based approach and regular exchanges with families make me want to join your team.
I am available from 1 March and would be glad to meet you.
Kind regards,
Mégane Perrin
