EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Early Childhood Education is a public prekindergarten school that is part of the Shoreline School District school district, located in Shoreline, WA with about 49 students. With about 3 teachers, Early Childhood Education has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The facility located at 816 NE 190th St in Shoreline, Washington, functions as an **Early Childhood Education center**, primarily serving as the home for the **Shoreline School District’s Early Childhood programs**. This site is dedicated to fostering the developmental needs of young children, typically focusing on preschool-aged learners. The programs hosted here are designed to provide a foundational educational experience, emphasizing social-emotional growth, early literacy and numeracy, and school readiness in a structured, nurturing environment.

By operating under the local school district, the center focuses on inclusive education and often provides essential support for children with developmental needs through specialized preschool services. The environment is tailored to support play-based learning and early socialization, helping children transition successfully into the K-12 public school system. Families in the Shoreline area utilize this location as a primary hub for accessing state-funded or district-sponsored early learning opportunities that prioritize high-quality, research-based instruction.
