Results of Limited Scope Review at Childcare Learning Centers, Inc.

摘要

Childcare Learning Centers, Inc. (CLC), a not-for-profit agency, provides childcare and early childhood education to approximately 1,000 children and their families in and around Stamford, Connecticut. CLCs principal programs include Early Head Start, Head Start, Child Development, and School Readiness. Families pay for programs per a sliding scale based upon income, with approximately 13 percent receiving free services. CLC is funded primarily through Federal and State grants and program fees. We reviewed $4,894,721 of Head Start costs claimed, including $115,049 in Recovery Act funds, that CLC received from November 1, 2008, through October 31, 2011. Our objective was to determine whether costs claimed by CLC were allowable under the terms of the Head Start and Recovery Act grants and applicable Federal regulations.
