THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER
The University of Chicago Family Resource Center (in the second floor of University Church at 57th and University) will be open Monday thru Friday, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm during the academic year.
The Family Resource Center is generously supported by the University of Chicago's Women's Board and welcomes graduate and professional student families affiliated with the University of Chicago. Our mission is to create a welcoming space where families from the university community can access resources, information, and supportive programming and services. The Center is administered by the Office of Graduate Affairs. The space includes a private space for nursing and changing a baby, playroom with new toys and books, email access, and a place for babysitting exchanges.
The Center can be used at *no charge* for university affiliated families but you m

You can also visit the Center in person to register and pick up a welcome packet. If you plan to have another caretaker bring your child to the Center, please be sure to bring the attached Designated Child Care Provider form. All Center users must complete the Registration Form and Release.
