Unity Preschool, Evanston | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

In 2014 we had the daunting task of selecting a preschool site-unseen while living out of state. I joined a couple of social media parents’ networking groups, and Unity received rave reviews. Upon visiting with the Director a few times long distance, and registering from a far (still hoping I made the right decision) we were welcomed with open arms when we moved to Evanston the summer before school began. My husband was deployed with the military and the Director recommended we try out their Summer Bunch program to not only meet new friends and help my son learn the ropes of his new school, but to also aid in my transition to a new area. I cannot rave enough about the love and kindness that the Unity Community greeted us with on all levels.

Three years later, my oldest is a happy alum (who went to Kindergarten extremely well-prepared) and my youngest is still so thrilled to go to school every day in her second year there. She loves all of the teachers, the creative and developmental sensory projects, learning about other cultures and new foods, the wonderful new music teacher and even the out of school social gatherings (both pre-planned an impromptu that emerge). I also love that the school participates in various projects throughout the year to teach the children about the importance of kindness and giving back to others in the Evanston community.

If you’re looking for a preschool community that not only provides a wonderful play-based education, but goes above and beyond to make new families feel welcome, Unity is your answer.

We are in the midst of the fifth of what will be six fantastic years as a Unity Preschool family. A team of teachers and administrators have consistently done a wonderful job introducing self-reliance skills, kindness, and foundational skills for kindergarten.

In addition to the traditional preschool experience, we have joined for the Unity summer bunch program every year and have also taken advantage of lunch bunch and early drop off activities. All of these are well organized and well executed by staff.

Through Unity, we have developed new friendships with area families that continue expanding as our kids get older and my guess is that many of them will remain close friends for as long as we live in Evanston.

We highly recommend Unity!
