I am convinced that my background and passion for working with children and leading teams can make a valuable contribution to the growth and development of Kindcentrum Theresia.

In my five-year career as a location manager, I have successfully elevated my team across various areas.

I would like to seize this opportunity to make a career switch and follow my passion for working with children. In this letter, I will explain why I am enthusiastic about this opportunity and why I believe this training and placement at Korein align perfectly with my ambitions.

My current background lies in the marketing world, where I have gained experience in various roles over the past few years. Although this industry has taught me a great deal and offered interesting opportunities, I have realised that my heart lies in working with children and contributing to their development. Over the years, I have volunteered at various youth organisations, where I discovered how valuable and fulfilling it is to contribute to the growth and development of children.

What appeals to me about Korein as an employer is the focus on creating a warm, challenging, and stimulating environment for children. I am impressed by the attention given to the individual needs and talents of each child and the way Korein provides children with the space to develop to their full potential. Furthermore, I appreciate the opportunities Korein offers for personal and professional growth, such as the short Pedagogy 0-13 years course and the online learning and development platform "JONG Leren".

The training and work-study placement at Korein offer me the ideal opportunity to combine my current knowledge and experience with my passion for working with children. I am convinced that with my background in marketing and communication, as well as my experience with voluntary work in the youth sector, I can make a valuable contribution to the team and the development of the children at the childcare centre.

I would welcome the opportunity to further explain my application in a personal interview. I look forward to learning more about the possibilities at Korein and the chance to build a new, challenging, and rewarding career in childcare.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
