About Us
Kansas City Charity for Children
Serving Kansas City
for Over 137 years.
Then
Over the past 138 years, our organization has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of the community. In the early days of our founding as The Provident Association in 1880, we helped families overcome joblessness, floods and epidemics. Over the decades, we responded to the impact of wars, poverty and societal changes to support families and children in pursuit of stability and happiness.
Now
Today, our family of programming uses high-impact, research-based approaches to create brighter futures for Kansas City. We’re focused on supporting families, teachers and child care providers in their work to prepare young children for success in school and life.
