Summary

My name is Janella Harrilal, and I am excited to express my interest in the position of Kindergarten Teacher at your wonderful Institution.

I am 42 years old, a devoted mother of one beautiful daughter who is currently pursuing her medical degree and happily married. My love for children and their boundless curiosity has been the heart of my journey in early childhood education for the past four years. I’ve had the joy of teaching preschoolers during this time, and it’s a role that continues to inspire and fulfill me each day.

What draws me most to teaching is the magic that happens in a young child’s mind watching them discover the world, grow in confidence, and develop unique personalities and hidden talents. I am especially passionate about helping children build strong character, emotional resilience, and a joyful outlook on life. I incorporate both fine and gross motor activities in my lessons to keep them engaged, alert, and excited to learn.

I also have a special connection to your school, my own daughter once walked these halls, and the care and dedication she received here left a lasting impression on both of us. It would truly be an honor to now contribute as an educator in the very place that helped shape her early learning journey.

I am confident that my experience, patience, and deep love for children make me a strong candidate for this role. I would be truly grateful for the opportunity to bring warmth, creativity, and dedication to your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of joining your school family.
