Finding Text

Mountainview Daycare Nutrition Program provides administrative services to twemty daycare centers during the Fiscal Year 2022-2023. The daycare centers submitted enrollment studies for their locations which support the reimbursement rates for the meal program. We audited the application records and the study month information to determine the accuracy of the reimbursements. The auditing work determined numerous errors effecting the reimbursement rate received.

Corrective Action Plan

In response to the Operational Weakness found during the recent audit, MDNP has put into effect the following training and processes. MDNP is in the process of converting all day care sites to electronic enrollment through the KidKare software. Electronic enrollments require all information to be completed and all information to be correct before approval. This will eliminate errors on the Enrollment/Income-Eligibility Forms (EIEA's). We will be training current staff and new staff for center EIEA review.
