Ashley Salcedo, Administrative Assistant

Hello there!  My name is Ashley Salcedo and I am absolutely excited to be working here at C Street!  I love working with children and seeing the developmental changes in each one of them.

To let you know a little about myself: I am originally from Southern California and moved to Utah about 2 years ago.  I am the oldest of 9 children and love it!  I helped my mother with my younger siblings ever since I can remember and found that caretaking was my special talent. 

I have worked in the field of child development for over 6 years.  One of my very first jobs was working in a pre-school as a teacher’s assistant when I was just a teenager!  I worked with all age groups, infants to school age, at that Center.   From that moment on I knew what I wanted to do as a career! 

I attended California State University San Bernardino and took 3 years in Early Child Education.  There I worked at the Children’s Center on campus as an assistant teacher; my focus was on the 3 year old and 4 year olds!  In between working at the Children’s Center at Cal State, I also volunteered as a Sunday school teacher for the 8th grade girls; how interesting that was!

When I left there, I worked for a private Christian facility (St. John’s Lutheran Child Care Center) in California.  My position there was as a Lead Teacher for the 3 year olds....and man that was a fun age!  I left that amazing school to challenge myself with a new environment, hence Utah! Now I am totally excited to interact with and help educate your children here at C Street.
