SALA Learning and Development Center

It’s been a year and ½ since we enrolled our 3 year old son in Sala’s Preschool program, and I cannot begin to express how much we love sending him there. I love the fact that their classrooms are on the smaller side. There is a real sense of community between the Teachers, Parents and Children.
Here are the pros.
It’s Clean! (my son seldom gets sick)
They have a Breakfast & Lunch program.
They have Part time and Full time scheduling
There isn’t a big turn over with regards to the families, so the children develop friendships.
They host family events so the parents can get to know each other.
Very diverse! you have gay families, single parent families, rich, poor, middle class, black, white, latino, asian, so on and so forth…
They are awesome at helping with Potty Training!
They have a real curriculum.
and they are reasonably priced.
And recently, we enrolled our infant for 1 – 2 days a week, and it’s just about perfect. Clean, Organized, and they follow a schedule. The infants spend a lot of floor time and have a lot of contact with each other and the teachers.
Cons,
There was teacher turnover in the beginning, but in the past 6 months, they have brought in some strong teachers. Also, don’t let the burglar bars deter you, I live in the neighborhood, and it’s really quite nice. Keep in mind, SALA in an older neighborhood in East Decatur, the building is probably 60 years old, but it’s well kept, and very clean, and they take safety very seriously at SALA.
