LPA met with licensee Sepideh Tehrani, who guided analyst on a tour of the facility. Also present during today’s inspection was licensee’s assistant, Naima Sanchez.. LPA Torrence observed six children playing in the designated daycare area. The facility was within licensed capacity and the required ratio. Licensee stated there are currently one adult and two minor children living in the home. Licensee stated she is not currently registered with any Foster Care agency or holds a foster parent license. Licensee was reminded if changes to notify the licensing office.
