Online Auction Now Open From Monday, March 20th to Sunday, April 2nd!
The 2017 Families Together Annual Online Auction is now open and running until Sunday, April 2nd.
Help support our mission—all auction proceeds benefit Families Together Cooperative Nursery School in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood. We are proud to be the only cooperative nursery school in the Chicago area that offers a sliding scale tuition. This tuition model, along with financial aid, makes our high quality education affordable for families of all income levels.
