When a child?s clothing or diaper becomes wet or soiled, the child is required to be cleaned and changed immediately. On 9/10/25, Child A, 3-years-old, arrived at the center from a public-school bus at approximately 1:00pm. Staff #1 reported checking Child A?s diaper at that time and that the diaper was wet, but not enough to warrant changing it. Staff #1 reported checking Child A?s diaper again at approximately 4:00pm and said it was wet, but did not contain feces, so again did not change the child. When Child A?s parent arrived at the center to pick up the child shortly after 4:30pm, they reportedly noted Child A was walking unusually and later discovered that the child had a diaper rash.
