Families Together Cooperative Nursery School Hosts Winter Open House This Saturday in Edgewater

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Edgewater · January 23, 2026

Edgewater families exploring preschool options for the upcoming year will have an opportunity to tour one of the neighborhood's most community-oriented educational options this weekend. The Families Together Cooperative Nursery School will host its Winter Open House on Saturday, January 24, welcoming prospective families to learn about their play-based educational approach and cooperative structure.

The open house, listed by the Edgewater Chamber of Commerce as one of this month's highlighted community events, offers parents a firsthand look at the school's facilities and programming. As a cooperative nursery school, Families Together operates with significant parent involvement, creating a unique educational community where families actively participate in their children's early learning experiences. This participatory approach has made it a distinctive option among Edgewater's educational institutions for families seeking a more hands-on preschool environment.

Interested Edgewater families are encouraged to attend Saturday's open house to meet current parents, teachers, and learn about enrollment options for the 2026-2027 school year. The event coincides with another community gathering that evening - the New Year, New Wave: Retro Dance Party - making January 24th a day filled with opportunities for Edgewater neighbors to connect and engage with local organizations.
