60 years of serving Evanston and surrounding communities

Unity Preschool is a nonprofit, developmentally appropriate preschool that has served Evanston and surrounding communities for over 60 years. We are conveniently located in a safe, bright and open space in the heart of the Noyes Street business district.

Unity has a long-standing tradition of being a child-led program. Each classroom embraces the natural curiosity of our learners to ensure our play is purposeful. Our play-based model integrates inspiration from curiosity approach practices.

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 each child.
