Thank you for your interest in joining New York City's historic Early Childhood initiatives. We continue to seek enthusiastic and high-quality study plan lead teacher and assistant teacher candidates to staff Early Childhood classrooms across all five boroughs. The VAST majority of teaching positions are in New York City Public School (NYCPS) Early Childhood Community-Based Organizations (CBOs). CBOs are independent organizations that contract with NYCPS to provide free, full day, high-quality early childhood programs. Not-yet-certified study plan lead and assistant teachers are only eligible to teach early childhood in CBOs; they are not eligible to apply for early childhood positions in NYCPS.
Be part of these historic initiatives: complete the self-assessment below to see if you are eligible to teach early childhood in a CBO. (EEOC Statement)
