Rationale for Reasonable Suspicion of Program Violation:

The Department of Children and Families suspended this child care provider from the Wisconsin Shares program due to a combination of red flags signifying Shares violations. These were identified through quantitative data showing the provider serving 1.74 children per licensed slot. In reviewing the provider's attendance records, significant inaccuracies resulted in overbilling for children and a failure to maintain and submit accurate attendance records as required by the Shares program. The provider also billed for an entire week when the provider stated the day care was closed.
