Children's Home and Aid was founded in 1973 and shares its location with Palatine Township Center. The organization's goal is to foster the social and intellectual development for all children, and the friendly staff has created a welcoming and fun atmosphere for those under their care. There is a daycare for children up to 6 years old, playground areas for outdoor recreation, a preschool accommodating up to 60 at-risk youth, and a social services staff available to help parents with any concerns. The center is licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Services for Families and Children, Inc.
