Wisconsin Shares Suspension

Provider Name Licensed Capacity* Shares Authorizations* Most Recent Monthly Payment
The Marc Center Child Development Academy 21 26 $12,013 (September)

*At suspension unless otherwise noted

Rationale for Reasonable Suspicion of Program Violation:

The Department suspended payments to this provider following an on-site investigation where only one child was present even though 23 are authorized to attend. Additionally, attendance records were not available during the on-site visit.

The provider ranked high in the Department's Red Flag Report. In September there were 1.76 children per licensed slot, rapid revenue growth, a prior overpayment, and nearly 70% of the Shares authorizations of the provider were children of employees.
