White Plains Children’s Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Inclusive Developmental Day Center. As an Inclusive Developmental Day Center, children who have special needs are included in our Center-Based Program along with children who are developing typically.
The Center’s philosophy is based on the belief that all children – those with special needs and those that are developing typically – benefit from interactions with each other in an environment that emphasizes acceptance of individual differences in background and ability levels.

Randall Atcheson
Randall Atcheson is the epitome of a musical Renaissance man. His gift of communicating the beauty of music in various forms has led to a decidedly versatile career as a much-sought after artist in the classics as well as in pop and the sacred repertoire. This versatility was evidenced early in life when he was recognized as a prodigy on both piano and organ. His university-level piano instruction began at age 12. He later became the only student in the history of The Julliard School ever allowed to pursue, and receive, simultaneous degrees in piano and organ performance. He studied piano with Sascha Gorodnitzki and organ with Anthony Newman.
As the winner of the first Julliard Organ Competition, Atcheson subsequently gave the premiere performance on the new pipe organ in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. Of the event, The New York Times wrote, "Atcheson played with remarkable brio, and through the incisiveness and unflagging energy of his performance, made the music sound almost better than it is."
Atcheson's recording career began following his New York debut on both piano and organ at Lincoln Center. He has recorded 16 albums featuring classical music as well as his unique arrangements of sacred and popular music. He has recorded with WORD, POLYGRAM, and RCA Records. His RCA releases include “Christmas by Candlelight” and a double CD, “Classic Love Songs.” The double CD release was featured in an extensive national television promotion in which he appears playing various selections from the recording.
Listed on the distinguished international roster of Steinway Artists, Atcheson has performed for such artists as Mick Jagger, Kathie Lee Gifford, Phil Collins, James Taylor, and Diana Ross. His heavy concert schedule has taken him to five continents for performances at notable places including Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and Blenheim Palace, England. He has made much-acclaimed piano debuts in Sydney, Australia; Jerusalem, Israel; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Paris, France.
He made his debut at Salle Gaveau in Paris in 2002. He has since returned to Paris on thirteen occasions to play at the American Embassy where recently Atcheson had the honor of performing for First Lady Laura Bush. He recently performed at the American Embassy and the Spanish Embassy in Prague and on three occasions played for President Bush. He has recently played his eighth concert at Carnegie Hall and two concerts in Paris.
