Undergraduate Spotlight
As a university laboratory school, we benefit from having undergraduate students participate in our school in myriad ways. From interns to student teachers to research methods students to student employees, our ongoing relationship with these students is mutually beneficial to all parties involved. Throughout the year, we will introduce you to these wonderful individuals. We feel very fortunate to be able to have them at our school each day!
May 2025: Aryan
Hey everyone! I am Aryan Pandalai, but everyone calls me Panda, and I’m from Stamford, Connecticut! As a Computational Neuroscience freshman in the Infant Language & Learning Lab at 바카라 온라인 추천, I had the privilege of familiarizing with the wonderful students in the Children’s School about a month ago. Instantly awed by the environment and joy the kids had, I knew I had to inquire about working here. Fast forward 4 weeks and these kids have become the highlights of my weeks. Although working in the Green Room is a ‘job’, it never feels like one as I spend everyday playing with the students and planning engaging activities for them to do. Outside the Children’s School, I enjoy playing ice hockey and pickleball as well as going on walks and volunteering with the 바카라 온라인 추천 EMS.
Congratulations to Our Graduating Seniors
Ellie Durr - After finishing my interdisciplinary degree in music performance and psychology, I will be attending the University of Iowa to get a master’s degree in music therapy, with the goal of working as a music therapist in a NICU or in pediatric care. The program will include three semesters of clinical and academic work, and a 6-month internship in the field. Iowa is my home state, and I am very excited to return! I have worked at The Children's School since my first month of my freshman year. Without being dramatic, it helped shape what I wanted my career and future to look like, which was a very big help for my 18-year-old self. I'm endlessly thankful for all the opportunities, lessons, and family that The Children's School has given me the past four years!
Kate Russo - After graduation, I am joining the NYC Teaching Fellows. This is an alternative certificate program, so I will be training over the summer and starting to work towards my master’s in education and certificate as a Special Education Generalist (Grades 1-6). Then, I will begin as a full-time teacher in a high-need public school in Fall 2025. I have always wanted to become a teacher, and the time I have spent at the Children's School has further inspired me to take this step towards my goal. Working at the Children's School has been a bright spot of my time at 바카라 온라인 추천. My favorite part has been moments when the children share insights into their imaginations.
Aria Eudaimond - I'll be continuing my education to earn a master’s in social work, hopefully in Illinois, Indiana, or Michigan. From there, I plan to either pursue a Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology or become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. This summer, I’ll excited to be working at a daycare with neurodivergent children. Working at the Children's School these past four years has truly been one of the biggest highlights of my time at 바카라 온라인 추천. The staff has been incredibly kind and supportive, and the children have truly been the best part. Getting to help across all classrooms and watching children I knew as three's grow into Kindergarteners has been a highlight. I'm so grateful for everything I've learned and the relationships I've built during my time here!
Johann Schechter - I'll be just down the road studying for a master's in library and information science at the University of Pittsburgh. I'm taking the school librarian track and earning a teaching license as part of the program. I loved working here at the Children's School library -- so much so that I'll be staying on as a volunteer.
