About the Early Education Center
Founded in 1931 as one of the first college-supported nursery schools in the U.S., the Early Education Center at Wheaton College has long been committed to quality preschool education. Each child’s growth and development are guided and nurtured by experienced early childhood educators passionate about learning through play. Our educators understand young children’s cognitive, social-emotional, and physical needs and offer students ample opportunities to experiment, discover and grow with joyful curiosity and confidence.
Our school offers half- and full-day programs for students ages three and up to prepare children for the transition to kindergarten—and for a lifetime of learning.

Lysistrata
2024-11-07 19:30 - 22:00, 2024-11-08 19:30 - 22:00, 2024-11-09 19:30 - 22:00 | Watson Fine Arts – Weber Theatre, Norton, MA, 02766, United States
Written by Aristophanes, adapted by Ellen McGlaughlin, directed by Don Mays
Produced in special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. (playscripts.com)
Follow Lysistrata, our Athenian heroine, as she creates an…unconventional…movement to end the Peloponnesian War. The women of Greece vow a prohibition in the bedroom until the violence of war has ceased. If the women of Greece refuse to love, will the men refuse to war? This fast-paced, comedic retelling of the classic Aristophanes play brings to light issues society has been discussing for millennia. Will we finally figure out how to make love, not war?
