Wisconsin Shares Suspension

Kidz-N-Playhouse 8 13 $10,288 (August)

*At suspension unless otherwise noted

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 red flags that signified Shares violations and the results of a comparison between collected attendance records and hours billed. The red flags were identified through data and in person visits.

During a visit by Department of Children and Families licensors on September 25, 2009, attendance records were collected. In subsequent reviews of attendance records, attendance sheets appeared to be copied with dates added later. Licensors collected 16 pages of identical pre-filled attendance records with no dates. Provider had previously received citations from licensors related to the maintenance of attendance records.
