Wheelock College is a private, co-educational college serving undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of early childhood and elementary education, social work, and child and family studies with programs in child life and juvenile justice.

Founded in 1888 by Lucy Wheelock, a pioneer in the American kindergarten movement, Wheelock College is internationally recognized for its mission to improve the lives of children and families. The undergraduate program offers a solid mix of liberal arts and professional studies with a unique hand-on learning approach through our field experience program that begins with the students first year, and continues until graduation. Graduate programs prepare students to take on leadership roles in their chosen professions.

The Towne Art Gallery
The Towne Art Gallery is an intimate art gallery at Wheelock College that hosts several nationally and internationally acclaimed artists' exhibitions throughout the academic year. The gallery also hosts shows by Wheelock College students, and on occasion the work of children from the Boston Public Schools. For upcoming events, times, and contact information please visit the gallery's website at http://www.wheelock.edu/art.

The Wheelock Family Theatre
Wheelock Family Theatre (WFT) creates intergenerational and multicultural productions that provide a shared experience for the whole family. Among increasingly few institutions, we are committed to serving and supporting families of all kinds. Indeed, our productions celebrate the diverse range of families found in the world today and seek to unite them in the shared experience of live theatre. We are especially dedicated to those who are historically under-served: people of color, people with disabilities, and low-income families. We know that it is not only children who are "at risk" in our society- but entire families and communities. Our play selection, casting policy, affordable ticket prices, education programs, and access provisions for people with disabilities reflect an unwavering commitment to inclusive, community-based theatre. We believe theatre is a crucial element of human experience. It is both a means of self-revelation and a basis for empathy with others; it inspires both individualism and responsibility through the giving and the receiving of human experience.
