The Wheelhouse Creative Education Center is a preschool, summer camp, and educational organization that provides thoughtful, creative, loving educational programming for children from birth through age 12.

The Wheelhouse was originally founded by a group of five parents dreaming of a loving, mutually supportive, world-opening community for their children and themselves. As their children played on and around them, they laid the groundwork for an educational organization guided by the principles of social justice, land stewardship and joy. We opened the doors of our preschool program in October 2015 in a renovated barn, surrounded by sunflowers and acres of forest. Our programs have evolved since that time, and we’ve made a move to Acra, but our principles and values remain the same.

We moved to our forever home in January of this year, and the move has taxed us financially. We are working to rebuild our financial aid fund, as well as continuing to offer free community programming.

Supporting the Wheelhouse means shaping the lifelong outcomes of the children who attend these programs, and helping to develop responsible future community members for Greene County. The Wheelhouse is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, EIN 81-1061941.

Join us for our summer party on August 17th from 1-4 pm at our new location at 5599 Route 23, Acra. We'll have FREE ice cream, lots of fun activities for kids, and live music. You'll also have the opportunity to support the Wheelhouse through our bake sale or our silent auction; all proceeds will go directly to support our free community programs, and to rebuilding our financial aid fund. Can't make it in person? You can also support us with a direct donation or participate in our auction online!
