What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Shoreline is top of the class when it comes to care (pun intended). They treat each child and family like their family. During our time there, our children thrived. The staff there is caring and an exemplary example of Christlike character when it meets business and community engagement. If you're looking for a place where you kids will feel at home, this is the place to be.
Shoreline is amazing! We love our teachers and staff. They take such wonderful care of my daughter and they love her so much! Ms. Katherine is the absolute best. She has taught my daughter so much.
Shoreline is a wonderful facility! The teachers are warm and caring. I also just want to say that Shoreline Learning Center is a Pre-School not a daycare! There is curriculum for all ages! I absolutely love the learning environment they have for my kids. They even have music classes for all ages and there is a Lego lab and cooking class with their after school program. With their summer camp as well there is a wonderful environment for kids year round! Bring your kids to Shoreline!
Shoreline Learning Center is by far the best learning center in the Austin area! Where you are made to feel part of their school family along with a warm, loving and a fun learning environment. The office staff is Amazing, it is obvious they are doing what they love to do! They are always positive and are happy to see our children come through the door. As we all know where you have great leadership you have a wonderful team! When seeing the classes and teachers in the hallway they always seem happy and excited to be there especially the kids! We wouldn't take our children anywhere else. Shoreline has been such a blessing to our family!
My children love this place and so do I. SLC has before school care, preschool, and after school care. All of their programs are outstanding in building moral character for every child that walks through their doors. The staff here are wonderful people and ensure the children leave better than they come almost every day. They have the coolest chapel/clubhouse that's pretty decked out, a wonderful game area upstairs, a second clubhouse upstairs AND an awesome indoor playscape. The coolest thing about the school is that you can visit the spaces and have your children check them out during Sunday service at Shoreline since its the same space they use for children's worship. If you're looking to instill values of faith and a love for God into your children, start here!
