32 | During the parent interviews, 1 out of 4 parents stated that they do see a lot of children but did not know an exact number and felt it was too busy and suggested they needed more providers to assist. During the course of investigation, photos were provided to LPA showing over 14 children at the facility at one time, which is well over the licensed capacity. Per neighbors’ interview, conducted by LPA Mary Silva they stated they have seen about 20 children at one time.
On 9/12/25, LPA arrived at the family childcare home and before entering the home, the LPA observed Licensee hand over a child to another adult. The adult then took the child to the back area of the home. Once the LPA entered the home the LPA only observed 14 children present. Licensee stated she only had 14 attending for that day. However, during the tour of the home conducted with LPA Mary Silva, the other adult with the child was not observed.
