Sample Cover Letter for Special Needs Therapist

Coverletter for Day Care specialist mentioning a job referral in her application

Dear Ma'am:

Having worked in two playschools as the resident Special Needs Therapist, I was quite excited to learn from Miss Rita Loos that you have an opening for a Early Childhood and Special Needs Teacher at the Jungle Gym Community of Small Learners. I would very much like to be considered for the position and I feel qualified for several reasons.

According to Miss Loos, you are interested in incorporating educational objectives into play programs. I am not only committed to such an approach but, as my enclosed resume illustrates, I have had the opportunity to be part of such programs. Children, teachers and parents were all enthusiastic about how educational yet captivating these sessions turned out to be, and I thoroughly enjoyed both planning them and working with the children. I am also a degree holder in early childhood and special needs education. I have also cared for and supervised language therapy sessions for children with autism and ADHD.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these and other experiences with you and to find out more about Jungle Gym. I would like to know more about your teaching objectives and methods. Would it be possible to meet with you some time next week?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Therapist Applicant
