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 data and in person visits.

As of mid September, 2009, the provider had 10 Shares authorizations for a facility licenses to serve a total of 6 children. Of those 10 authorizations, 7 authorizations, or 70%, were for children of employees of From Dusk Til Dawn Child Care Center.

During in-person visit by investigators on September 18, staff person was present. She indicated the owner was away from the facility. There was only one child present. The only child present was that staff person's child.
