For over 45 years, Friendship Child Development Center has been a cornerstone of the Wichita community, nurturing children and families through faith-based care.
Friendship Child Development Center was founded in 1978 by Friendship Baptist Church with a simple mission: to provide loving, faith-based childcare that supports both children and their families.
What started as a small program serving a handful of families has grown into one of Wichita's most trusted childcare centers, touching the lives of over 1,000 families over the past four decades.
Today, we continue that mission, combining Christian values with quality childcare to create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive spiritually, emotionally, and academically.
Our Christian foundation guides everything we do, from daily activities to how we treat each child and family.
Every child is loved unconditionally, just as God loves us. We create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and secure.
We incorporate Christian values into daily activities through prayer, Bible stories, and lessons that build character and moral foundation.
We view parents as partners in their child's development. Open communication and collaboration ensure the best outcomes for every child.
We prepare children for school through age-appropriate learning activities that foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a love of learning.
Your child's safety is our top priority. We maintain secure facilities, background-checked staff, and strict safety protocols.
We foster a sense of community among families, creating lasting friendships and support networks that extend beyond our center.
Our dedicated team of childcare professionals is committed to providing the best care for your children.
