Mission

Since its founding over  48 years ago, Tri-Con's mission has been to provide high quality, affordable early care and education for children of low-to-moderate income families.  Our mission extends to and includes the families of our students where we act as a community liaison when support is needed from other social service agencies and professionals.

About Us

Tri-Con Child Care Center was established in 1971 when United Way assessed the need for additional subsidized early care and education programs in Highwood and Highland Park.  Trinity Episcopal Church in Highland Park, the National Council of Jewish Women, and Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Highland Park came together to create Tri-Con Child Care.

​

With continued support from many local organizations, businesses and individuals, Tri-Con has been providing high quality early care and education for over 48 years.

​

We are a not-for-profit agency licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and the Lake County Health Department.

​

100% of attending students receive financial assistance.

Events & News

Yea! We've Reopened!

Our center has reopened and we're working together to stay healthy, to stay safe and to have fun!  We're checking temperatures, wearing masks & social distancing.  While things are a bit different the feelings of being back together with good friends makes it all ok!

Keeping  Ourselves Busy Both Indoors & Out!

​

Searching for bugs, walking to the beach, playing in the water table, picking dandelions & tending to Trinity's flowers are just some of the things we've done to keep ourselves learning & exploring!  We challenged ourselves with stick art by using colorful yard to wrap tree branches.  They look AMAZING hanging from our classroom ceiling!
