Founded in 1931 by Elisabeth Amen, professor and chair of the Education and Psychology Department at Wheaton College (1926). Professor Amen's special interest in researching effective early childhood education took her through Great Britain in 1930, and led her back to Wheaton in 1931 to open one of the nation's first college-sponsored laboratory schools. Professor Amen's passion for quality early education is still embedded today in the meaningful "hands-on" experiential learning opportunities offered at the Amen preschool.
To provide a nurturing and cognitively stimulating environment in which children can explore and experiment - developing thought, language, self-esteem, confidence, and social learning skills necessary for successful foundational academic skills.
