Student Assistants
Each head teacher plans the classroom program with an assistant teacher and may also be assisted by Purchase College work study and practicum students. There are approximately 25 - 30 student assistants with scheduled hours during the academic year. They come at consistent times to assure continuity for the children. Students may also be placed at the center as psychology interns, to do senior projects, or as volunteers. All students are interviewed, and are required to have medicals, NYS clearance checks, and training sessions.
