Hilda Torres came to the United States from Mexico seeking work as a beautician but had difficulties finding affordable daycare for her children. She became a licensed childcare worker to get a discount on daycare and soon discovered her talent with children. Gerardo Loza, also from Mexico, was determined to start a business and upon seeing his cousin’s success, he proposed they start their own daycare. Torres and Loza then opened My Little Best Friends Early Learning Center in Malden.

It's beautiful when you're able to love somebody else's kid the same way that you love your own.
