HistoryIn 1888, when Lucy Wheelock began her first kindergarten teacher training class, she could scarcely have imagined where that step would lead. Many decades later, Wheelock College is living testimony to her ability to shape a vision of the future, and then to change and grow. Lucy Wheelock left a legacy: to improve the lives of children and families. Generations of Wheelock graduates have kept the promise of that mission. In 1939 Lucy Wheelock retired after her 50th year as director and the Wheelock School incorporated as Wheelock College. The academic program expanded to four years and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts authorized Wheelock to grant the Bachelor of Science degree. By the 1950s, Wheelock had established graduate degree programs and was ready to expand the concept of its mission once again. Over the years, the College has continued to take the lead in early childhood education and has broadened its vision to include service to children's social and health needs.SpecialtiesSince 1888, Wheelock College has been providing a transformational education to students passionate about making the world a better place--especially for children and families.
