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

We Make Learning Safe & Fun!

Our center is open 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  together with good friends makes it all ok!

Keeping  Ourselves Busy Both Indoors & Out!

​

Simple machines, ramps, pulleys & creativity provide us with loads of fun and learning as we move things from one spot to another, up & down and across the room. 

​

We're looking forward to more time outside, riding bikes, neighborhood walks and putting our swing set to the best of use!  Fingers crossed

spring is here before too long!
