Finding Text
Finding: Some provider agreements and child enrollment records were missing required data, such as parent or provider signature or date. CACFP Policy 07-2006 requires that at the time of enrollment in the family day care home and before any child care is provided, a record (enrollment form) for each child must be created, signed by the parent or guardian, and retained by the provider. As a result of this finding, meal reimbursements could be disallowed for any child with incomplete documentation. Recommendation: The Sponsoring Organization should provide training to the providers on how to accurately complete appropriate documentation on all written agreements and enrollment forms, as well as what documentation must be maintained onsite. During the Sponsoring Organization’s review, this documentation should be verified and if not sufficient, meal reimbursements should be disallowed for any child with incomplete documentation.
