  • The Edwin Pratt Early Learning Center opened its doors to 400 of Shoreline Public Schools’ youngest learners on Monday, January 7. In February 2017, over 73 percent of Shoreline School District voters approved a $250 million bond to construct an Early Learning Center and rebuild Parkwood Elementary, Kellogg Middle School and Einstein Middle School. The new 55,000 square foot facility at 1900 N 170th St. is now home to all of the school district’s preschool programs. Those programs include tuition-based preschool, Head Start and early childhood special education services.

    The Edwin Pratt Early Learning Center is named after Edwin Pratt, a local civil rights leader who was assassinated in front of his home in Shoreline on January 26, 1969, at the age of 38.
