Dr. Jim Farha Andover YMCA Early Learning Center

The Greater Wichita YMCA is the region's leading KDHE-licensed child care provider for kids of all ages (two-weeks through their start of school). The Andover ELC, located in the Dr. Jim Farha Andover YMCA, provides children with a mixture of learning, social, and physical activities that holistically approach education, build confidence, and ensure future success.

We offer income-based financial assistance (for reduced-cost access to child care and camp - for those who qualify). All Greater Wichita YMCA child care programs are contracted with DCF.
