(continued from previous page) children with the help of the health department; they coordinate food and clothing drives; and they work with the school district to obtain early intervention services for children with developmental challenges. In a lovely example of Highland Park’s nonprofit programs collaborating to benefit the community, the Music Arts School is currently providing an enrichment program at Tri-Con. Each week, Music Arts School staff provides two half-hour music learning sessions: one for the preschoolers and one for the kindergartners and campers. The programs are tailored to the developmental abilities and interests of the children and provide them with opportunities to explore music through instruments, body movement and voice. Leveraging community resources makes music education available to these children, enrichment they are otherwise unlikely to receive. By supporting the entire family, Tri-Con watches not only the children, but the parents, too, achieve their potential over time. In one example, a family enrolled their daughter just after arriving in the United States. They were thrilled to find the program, not only for its affordability, but because they could communicate in Spanish with the program’s bilingual staff. As she got older, the daughter became a very active volunteer at the center and eventually worked at Tri-Con as a camp coordinator. She is now teaching in the district schools and attributes her love of children and education, in part, to her positive experiences at Tri-Con. YEA!
