Schools in White Plains, NY

“I’ve been a teacher at TLE for just over a year. The directors are amazing and offer plenty of support to their staff. I was given the opportunity to complete my CDA as one of the perks offered to employees, which has enabled me to advance my career as a toddler teacher. The bond that I have made with my coworkers is amazing. We all work together to help and support each other. It truly feels like we’re a family. Overall, my experience working here has been fantastic!”

“Love the ECC! Both of my kids have been very happy there- the outdoor aspect of their program is fantastic, the kids get so much time to explore. The staff is great and the families are very involved. We’re glad we picked the ECC!”

“Absolutely amazing daycare that truly cares! All teachers at Prospect are wonderful and are there to encourage, assist and help. Every little request is taken into consideration and is easily addressed. They know every one of their students really well with his/her preferences and nuances.
I greatly appreciate the culture of changing into indoor shoes as you go inside. Prospect recognizes the necessity of outdoor play regardless of the weather and requires that everybody has appropriate outdoor gear to stay warm and dry. Prospect selects its toys wisely. They are not stocked with every single car and doll available on the market; instead, they have every single building kit, puzzle, and block set imaginable. They encourage focused play and critical thinking as well as imaginative play and interaction with other kids. And, needless to say, after just one year at Prospect Academy, my son is truly bilingual.
Childcare is not just a job for Prospect, it is what they do, it is their craft, and I am very thankful for that!”

“My 3 children just spent their first summer at Mohawk Day Camp and they can’t wait to go back next summer. Sending them there was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I’ve made as a parent. After my 10-year-old daughter’s challenging school year dealing with bullies, she made so many new friends at camp that she adored and felt comfortable trying new things with (rock wall climbing, the flying squirrel, and the high ropes course just to name a few). Her self-confidence skyrocketed and she can’t wait to add on the 1-week sleep-away option that’s offered by the camp next summer so she can go away with all of her new camp friends. She also loved the ability to build her own weekly schedule by selecting activities that she was the most interested in for her choice and elective periods. It definitely made her feel more independent and “like an adult” as she says, being able to spend more time doing the activities that she loves. My 6-year-old son who had no interest in sports prior to camp found his love for tennis (which we never would have thought of trying on our own) and he was so excited to work towards reaching new swimming levels. He would come home grinning from ear-to-ear each time he received his light-up card showing that he moved up. My son can also be very emotional at times and Amanda was a miracle worker. She found the best ways to help my son regulate how he was feeling and keep the fun going. My 3-year-old daughter began camp with a speech delay and ended camp talking non-stop despite her lapse in services over the summer. She came home singing so many cute songs (she’s still singing the watermelon song on a daily basis), and was so excited to tell me about what she did at camp that it definitely motivated her to try harder to formulate full sentences. And I know that my youngest is very strong-willed and can be very stubborn at times but her counselors were so patient with her all summer long. Not only was I receiving daily pics via the Mohawk App, but Valerin always made sure to communicate how my daughter’s day went which made me feel much more comfortable with her being there for full days at such a young age. Valerin also never gave up when my daughter refused instructional swim and would only participate during recreational (she was so used to just playing in pools prior to camp and definitely put up a fight at first). Valerin had the whole group cheering my daughter on and getting her excited to practice different swimming skills. The day she received her first moving up card, I actually found her hugging it in her sleep after she went to bed which was the cutest thing. She was so proud of herself.

Bottom line, if you want the absolute best summer experience for your child then send them to Mohawk! Between the endless daily activities, the awesome special events, and the phenomenal staff, your kids will have the time of their life! I couldn’t be happier with my decision to send my kids there this summer and they all can't wait to go back.”

“The staff is attentive and caring. The activities are fun but have an educational or developmental purpose. My daughter loves her days there and that smile is all I need to know it’s a great place for her :)”

“Our child loves it here. He's been there through infant, toddler, and preschool. The teachers are incredibly caring, the learning opportunities and physical activities are really top notch, and his social development has been amazing to watch. I think they're really helped foster a level of caring and kindness amongst the children.”

“We started our son at Children’s Corner on Westchester Ave when he was 6 months old. After considering several child care options, we quickly felt we made the correct choice with how great the infant teachers were. Miss Anastasia and Nancy remained his favorite teachers even as he progressed out of the infant room. Aliya'h and Cookie run the center and are great with communication. We had to relocate our son to a different center due to a move, but we kept him enrolled at a different Children’s Corner location due to the positive experience at Westchester Ave. As good of a total value as you’ll find in the area.”

“Amazing staff. I have had the best experience here. I was nervous to leave my baby at daycare but the staff are amazing and I feel so safe leaving him. Gladys and all the teachers are so wonderful.”
