Note: Internships are available only to students in the Early Childhood General Education or Childhood General Education programs.

Each year, 17 to 20 placements are available for interns who will work with children in classrooms four full days a week. The internships carry an annual stipend. Interns have had some previous work with children in structured settings, such as in community-based centers, as Peace Corps volunteers, or as student teachers in undergraduate education programs.

Interns are hired as faculty members in independent schools associated with Bank Street College, including the Bank Street School for Children, Manhattan Country Day School, City and Country School, Trevor Day School, and Columbia Greenhouse Nursery School. Interns have a total of two placements over the course of the year, most often in the same school, at two different age levels. A few interns have the opportunity to spend one semester interning in a New York City public school.

As needed, interns will expand their supervised experiences to include work with diverse student populations, age ranges, and school environments, if these requirements are not met in their primary fieldwork setting.
