Warren W. The school is named after Warren W. Cherry to honor the memory of an outstanding Evanston educator, community leader, and friend of young children.

Cherry Preschool (cherrypreschool.org) is a partial-day, not-for-profit, non-sectarian early childhood program that is independent and parent-governed. Established by parents and early childhood educators seeking to create an independent institution that would meet the needs of Evanston's young children, Cherry Preschool opened its doors in September of 1992.

Springtime brings new beginnings and heartfelt goodbyes. Over the last few weeks, our Red Room friends learned about and cared for eggs that hatched into chicks and caterpillars that emerged as butterflies. They wrote letters to say goodbye to the chicks and went to the park to release the butterflies.

Egg-citing things are hatching at Cherry! Our Red Room friends have patiently waited for their classroom chicks to hatch. Children have been learning about how to be gentle and careful as they welcome their new fluffy friends into the world.
