Wisconsin Shares Suspension

Provider Name Licensed Capacity* Shares Authorizations* Most Recent Monthly Payment
Sunrise Academy 8 15 $13,138 (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 a combination of red flags signifying Shares violations and a comparison of collected attendance records versus hours billed. These red flags were identified through data and in person visits.

As of mid September, the provider had 15 Shares authorizations for a facility licensed to serve 8 children. Of the 15 Shares authorizations, 10 were for children of employees.

During a visit on September 24, 2009, a Department of Children and Families investigator found only two children present.
