Early Learning Center
6 Weeks – 4 Years: A strong beginning to a lifelong love of learning.
At The Independent School’s Early Learning Center, children ages 6 weeks to 4 years thrive in a nurturing environment where curiosity is encouraged, individuality is celebrated, and foundational skills are built with care and intention.
About Us
For more than four decades, The Independent School has been a trusted educational leader in the Wichita community. In January 2019, we extended that legacy to our youngest learners with the launch of our Early Learning Center.
Serving children from 6 weeks to 4 years old, our Early Learning Center is designed to provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where curiosity is sparked and development is supported every step of the way. With small class sizes, highly qualified teachers, and a focus on early childhood best practices, we offer more than care—we provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
A love of learning begins early.
