Whitehouse Preparatory School
Preschool in Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889
Whitehouse Prep is founded on the belief that children should be introduced to the learning environment in a way that is both developmentally appropriate as well as academically challenging. At its core is the guiding principle that the school environment should be one where the child constructs meaning within a learning environment that focuses on educating the whole child by using developmentally appropriate pedagogy that fosters self-confidence and a genuine love of learning. Through our full-day programs, students are able to progress at their own pace and are afforded the time necessary to allow them to develop the academic and social skills to succeed in first grade and beyond. In addition, the school is dedicated to introducing children to notions of social awareness (it is just not me in this world) as well as cultivating an appreciation for their environment and nature, respect for others, skills for conflict resolution through peaceful means and the importance and value of intergenerational relationships.
In a sentence, Whitehouse Prep is committed to offering children the best possible start to a lifetime of living and learning.
Childhood should be a journey . . . not a race.

At Whitehouse Preparatory School, we believe that all children are endowed with unique gifts and qualities that, if properly nurtured, will allow them to excel and achieve wonderful things in life. In this respect, education is more than simply imparting information and skills from teacher to student; rather, true education is seen as a two-way process whereby the teacher serves as the catalyst for drawing out of her students their unique qualities and abilities.
The teacher, in effect, serves as a facilitator who works alongside each student, much like a coach who gently encourages an athlete to perform to his or her fullest potential. This process of drawing out a childs unique qualities is accomplished best by sparking within each student his or her own passions and by allowing them to discover and embrace their own creativity.
