Big wonder starts in a caring place.
At Shorewood Early Learning Center, children from 6 weeks through 12 years learn, play, and feel known. Our bright classrooms and caring teachers make every day an adventure.
Family-owned and operated by Shorewood residents Tom and Sharon Carrescia since 1985, our center offers the personal care of a local school where every child is known and valued. We are proud to welcome second- and third-generation families—a reflection of the lasting relationships our teachers build and the trust families place in our care. Our goal is to provide dependable, high-quality childcare at a price local families can afford.

Kind words from our community
“The best daycare around! Sent my daughter here about 8 years ago and was very pleased and now my youngest has been here for a little over a year now. I wouldn’t take my kids anywhere else. Amazing staff, safe and clean environment. Never had any issues. Highly recommend 🩷🩷”
“We love Shorewood Early Learning! My daughter has been going since she was 3 months old. As a first time mom, I was terrified to leave her. The staff made me feel so at ease and I can tell they love her. Two years later and she still loves her infant class teachers.”
“Awesome daycare! It's super clean, they communicate really well, and best of all, my son totally loves it. We're so thankful to the team for all their hard work and totally recommend them to any parent.”
