The philosophy guiding the program at White Plains Childrens Center is based on a belief that children with typical and special needs benefit from interactions with each other in an environment that stresses acceptance of individual differences in backgrounds and ability levels.
For the children with special needs, inclusion facilitates their developmental progress by exposing them to a varied and complex environment. By enabling them to remain within their own community, they are better prepared for the real world and greatly benefit from the modeling of their peers for social and communication skills.
Our philosophy embraces key practices that include:
The belief that play is a childs work
A curriculum which focuses on the process of learning versus the product
Activities planned with the childs needs in minds, respecting individual styles and designed to ensure success
Schedules offering flexibility, smooth transitions and minimal interruptions in a childs a play
An environment where a child is encouraged to make choices about activities and materials
The teaching of self control through guidance instead of punishment
