About Wichita Children's Home
The Wichita Children's Home was founded in 1888 as the city's first orphanage to "support and care for destitute and homeless children." Today, the Home offers the only emergency, temporary, residential care for children in our community. The Home is open 24/7 and serves children from birth to 22 years of age in foster homes or in the shelter.
WCH realizes child abuse, family dysfunction and substance abuse problems can never be completely eliminated. Yet, we continue to raise awareness, acting as an advocate for healthy families and working to minimize the negative impact on children of the community.
WCH actively promotes children's rights and supply preventive information to help families heal themselves. By empowering families to change destructive behaviors and alter the paths of their lives, the Home is helping to create healthier futures for area children.

On July 1, 2018 Kidzcope became part of the Wichita Children’s Home family of services to meet the ever-growing challenges of grieving children in our community. Utilizing WCH’s trauma-informed, restorative practice approach, our hope is to expand services and begin to provide a complementary therapeutic treatment approach to caring for vulnerable and traumatized children suffering from ambiguous loss and grief.
