Wisconsin Shares Suspension

*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 a combination of red flags signifying Shares violations. These were identified through quantitative data showing the provider billed for over $12,100 annually per child and serving 1.9 children per licensed slot. In reviewing the provider's attendance records, significant inaccuracies resulting in overbilling for children were identified, the Department established an overpayment of $3,992.53 for failing to maintain and submit accurate attendance records as required by the Shares program. The provider was terminated from the Department of Public Instruction’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) effective 12/28/09 for being seriously deficient in the operation of the CACFP. The Department has previously issued notices for violating licensing rules and the rules of the Shares program on 9/18/08 and 1/14/10. On 1/14/10, the Department assessed a $150 forfeiture for failing to maintain and submit accurate attendance records.
