Shoreline Children's Center

Shoreline Children’s Center, located in the central corridor of the Shoreline School District, offers a year-round all-day pre-kindergarten and half-day preschool program through the Shoreline School District.

The program focuses on:

  • Developing emerging literacy in all subject areas through skill building and creative play.
  • Teaching curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to learning in which children direct their own instruction with strong support from adults.
  • Ensuring the curriculum is fully integrated with the district’s K-12 curriculum.

The Center also offers an Extended Day program through nine Shoreline elementary Schools, and a cost-effective summer program. For more information please call 206.393.4256.

Immunization Requirements

Washington state law requires that all children up to the age of 21 be fully immunized. On or before the first day of school, all students must present or have on file a state Certificate of Immunization form, which is documentation of immunization status. Shoreline requires that students must have proof of immunization or an approved waiver by the 20th day of school. If no proof/waiver is received by the 20th day of school, the student may not continue to attend school until documents are received.

A student may be exempted from these requirements for medical, religious, or philosophical reasons. A change in the law enacted in July 2011 requires a physician's signature for those wishing to exempt for philosophical reasons. A physician's signature is also required to accompany a waiver for medical reasons. A proof of membership in a religious group that does not allow a health care practitioner to provide medical treatment to a child will also be required for those claiming a religious exemption.
