Facilities


Located in downtown Oak Park at 848 Lake Street, the school is in the heart of the community. The classrooms are all spacious with natural lighting to accommodate a rich array of activities. The large windows allow us to enjoy the changing seasons. On snowy winter days we feel like we are inside a snow globe! The school also includes a full gym as well as an outdoor playground with tricycle path, climbing equipment, basketball hoop, sandbox, messy materials area, playhouse, trees and areas for planting. Additionally children have the opportunity to play and explore at Austin Gardens, Scoville Park and the front yard of the church.

First United has a large library of books, music, puzzles, science boxes, puppets, math games and other learning materials which are rotated in classrooms to support topics of study and projects.

A group time area is the dedicated spot for gathering for literacy and music activities, sharing of ideas and group math and science explorations.

A 95 foot hand-painted mural in the hall extends the creative learning atmosphere.
