Per Director, the facility lays 2 disposable absorbent pads every time they change a child’s diaper. LPA observed plenty of absorbent pads stored next to the changing table, along with additional diapers and wipes. Drinking water is available in the form of personal water bottles that are also taken outside when needed.
