Mission & Leadership

Committed To The Core

Center City Academy is a non-profit early child development center that will provide affordable, high-quality child care for people living and working in Wichita’s urban core. The opportunity to create a more contemporary outreach to serve the needs of the redeveloping core is apparent. Research shows that the number of available openings in child care facilities in Sedgwick County can serve only 48% of the number of children under the age of six needing care.
