Our teachers and staff have high expectations, yet are caring and willing to provide appropriate programs for children at all levels of learning. The instruction provided to the students is characterized by a child-centered philosophy that recognizes that each individual is unique. Our teachers have a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and personalities and come to the classroom with multiple teaching methods, techniques and styles. Each one shares White Plains' Goal for Success for our students. Teachers are constantly working to identify the needs of each child and also their own professional development needs. Our staff takes full advantage of the opportunities to attend courses and workshops that add to their teaching skills. The spirit and professionalism among the staff results in a sense of openness, a high degree of innovation and a superior level of enthusiasm in teaching.
