    "My daughter attended Salazar for 2 yrs in the preK program. I can not speak more highly of the preK program as well as the school. The teachers and teachers aides are fantastic, highly qualified with many years of experience. They did a fantastic job accommodating each child regardless of their background - our daughter from a non-Spanish speaking home. They have a fantastic childcare program for before & after school that is extremely affordable, which makes them a fantastic resource for families where both parents work. The only area for needed improvement is the preK's communication with parents regarding Fridays the program was not in session. There were numerous occasions we would be notified last minute (a day or 2 before) of a Friday that the preK class was off. For working families, this can be stressful, having to coordinate childcare last minute."

    "Salazar has a great Pre-K program. The teachers are committed. There is parent involvement and there is a true international mix of kids. Salazar is a great neighborhood resource."

    "I have had all 4 of my kids attend Ruben Salazr 2 of which have already gratuated from salazar and are in highschool. Salazar offered my kids the opportunity to keep their culture and learn a whole new one. IT has a great bilingual program and the class sizes are great. It is downtown which keeps my kids away from the problems that are back home so they can concentrate in school. The staff and teachers are all very supportive and truly show that they care about our kids. I would derinetely recommend Salazar to any parents."

    "The person who wrote the comment below has not seen the research that shows students who are taught in their families' home language, (in this case, Spanish), for at least six years will have higher academic success by the time they graduate high school. This is in comparison to native English speakers and English language learners who are pushed to learn English in ESL/bilingual classes as rapidly as possible. Salazar knows what they're doing! Sign your Spanish-speaking kid up if you want him/her to have the best chance for a successful future. By the way, if you, as a parent, speak Spanish, won't it be easier to assist your child with homework if you can read it?"

    "Salazar offers a great Pre-k program. The teachers and staff are committed to the children and it shows in all the activities and themes they use throughout the year. My son started the program when he was three and is now concluding his second year of preschool before going on to kindergarten. He looks forward to school everyday. The school also have a strong committment to families and supporting difficult working schedules. The Pre-K teachers do expect parents to volunteer once or twice per month which can be hard for working parents, but I feel it was great to be in the classroom for at least a few hours per month. They encourage healthy eating, creativity, reading everyday, and outside physical play."
