UChicago’s Family Resource Center

The Family Resource Center (FRC) is a welcoming play and community space where University families can access resources, information, supportive services, and enrichment programming. Membership is free.  Any university affiliated family is welcome: Students, post-docs, faculty, staff, and alumni.

The multi-age FRC playroom and playground is located in the Woodlawn Social Services Center at 950 East 61st St, and we just re-opened this fall.  Our current hours are Mon-Fri from 10-4. In pre-pandemic times, we offered children’s classes, family parties and student-parent write-ins: a free babysitting service for student parents. In lieu of classes, for Fall Quarter we have offered a daily themed activity in our art room with stories, crafts and related games. We have a great big playground. Come visit and play!
