Child Care Program

Inclusive Child Care & Family Support

We are a licensed child care provider with the mission to create an integrated and accepting environment for all children

The Arc of Wichita County provides safe, dependable, and inclusive child care for children ages 3–17, with and without disabilities. We recognize that some children face barriers to traditional child care due to behavioral challenges, toileting needs, or other support requirements. Our program strives to provide a welcoming environment where children of all abilities can feel accepted and supported.

Our primary goal is to provide a safe and caring environment while giving parents and caregivers the dependable child care they need to maintain employment and meet their family's responsibilities. Through recreational activities, social interaction, and community experiences, children also have opportunities to build friendships and enjoy their time with us.

We understand the challenges working families face when child care arrangements are disrupted. Our staff make every reasonable effort to support children through behavioral challenges rather than routinely requiring early pickup, provided the safety of the child, other children, and staff can be maintained.
