White Plains Children's Center - (919) 469-3522

White Plains Children's Center is a 5-star, inclusive childcare center that serves children ages 1-5 years with or without disabilities.

White Plains Children’s Center was founded in 1982 as part of the outreach ministry of White Plains United Methodist Church, Cary, NC. The founders recognized a need in the Cary community for quality childcare, and particularly a need for care for children with special needs. Several of the founders were long-time educators in Wake County. These educators were truly ahead of the times in recognizing that young children with developmental delays, or at-risk for developmental delays, would have a greater chance for success in public school if their special needs were cared for at a very early age. These insightful founders realized that children with special needs could make tremendous strides in development by interacting with children who are developing typically.

After many months of planning, White Plains Children’s Center was born as an inclusive developmental day center. As an inclusive center, both populations are included in the same classroom, each gaining from the other.

Although WPCC started small when the doors opened, both populations have steadily grown. Today about one-third of our children have special needs and two-thirds are developing typically.

Since 1982, WPCC has continued to grow in service to the surrounding communities of western Wake County. WPCC has partnerships with Wake County Public Schools and the CDSA (Child Development Services Agency) to provide special education services for children 2 to 5 of age years.

Our program has grown because we continue to set goals, hire professionals, design programs and nurture children and families to achieve the mission set forth by the founders in 1982. We continue to believe this mission provides the basis for our future.

We are located in Cary NC and serve families in western Wake County.
