What the inspector wrote

LPA met with the licensee, Adriany Rodrigues. At the time of inspection, the licensee and her husband supervised four infants. The Licensee complies with the Licensee's capacity and limitations. The licensee submitted a request for a capacity increase on May 16, 2025. However, at the time of application submission, the licensee had not yet completed the one-year experience requirement necessary to be eligible for a large license increase. Her one-year anniversary for this experience is on May 28, 2025. During the inspection, the Licensee\342\200\231s adult son provided Portuguese translation.
