An inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mahnaz (Nancy) Malek. LPA met with licensee, Natalia Silva, and her assistant, Felissa Silva. Census was taken. There were a total of 10 children of whom one was under two years old. The children were outside playing in the backyard at the time of inspection.
