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.
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.

Tri-Con's preschool program assists a child's smooth transition to Kindergarten. Students build confidence and develop skills within a diverse, cheerful, and nurturing environment that prepares them to become lifelong learners. Experienced, highly trained teachers support the children in their early education by fostering curiosity, experimentation, imagination, and problem solving.
Volunteer Opportunities
Report
Community members play an important part in enhancing Tri-Con's services. There are many opportunities for groups or individuals to come and work with the children and teachers in the classrooms or to assist with tasks around the Center. We welcome and encourage you to visit Tri-Con to see our programs in operation.
Faq
Report
Tuition is based on a sliding fee scale computed on family size and income. While some families qualify for state subsidy, others are eligible for Tri-Con's own Scholarship Program. Every family receives some type of assistance. All staff members are state qualified, and Tri-Con's teacher-to-child ratios actually exceed the expectations of DCFS' minimum standards with lower teacher-to-child numbers.
