About Wesley Education Center in Boston, MA
In January 1920, the Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Church opened the predecessor of the Wesley Education Center for Children and Families in response to the needs of young working mothers. Located in one room of Friendship Home at 641 West Fourth Street in downtown Cincinnati, the agency was called Friendship Home Nursery Kindergarten. Under the supervision of the Cincinnati Kindergarten Training of the University of Cincinnati, the first director was Miss Louise Penn, an alumnus of the kindergarten training program. Miss Penn later became well-known as Mrs. Louise Sandipher, an active member of Mt. Zion United Methodist Church.
