Unity Preschool is a nonprofit, developmental preschool that has served Evanston and surrounding communities for more than 50 years. We are conveniently located in a bright, open, ground floor space on Foster Street just west of Sherman Avenue. Our primary aim is to create a warm, inviting environment for children ages 2 through 5 to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.
Through an emphasis on building relationships with other children and adults in a happy, safe and stimulating setting, we strive to foster a positive self-image for the child. Unity Preschool works to encourage learning and experimentation in the context of play while providing a comfortable, fun, and safe transition from home to school.

Classroom activities are devised with the skill level of each child in mind. Goals of our curriculum include introducing children to simple conflict resolution skills and encouraging children to think, reason and experiment.

Class ratio is one teacher per six students, with a maximum class size of 12 children. Our 2/3 class is a place where children learn to look forward to coming to school. They establish friendships, explore new types of play, and enjoy having some independence in a place which is just for them. Classroom teachers provide a loving and nurturing environment where children can expand their horizons.
