A former Mount Laurel child care center director was indicted Tuesday on a theft charge accusing her of stealing nearly $65,000 from the school, authorities said

Ashley Offenbacker, 31, of Clementon, was responsible for enrollment and billing at Kiddie Academy and told several parents to submit tuition payments to her in cash instead of using the school’s online billing system, according to a statement from the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.

She was accused of taking $64,544 from 14 families between November 2017 and January 2019, the statement said.

The former director’s actions were brought to the attention of the Mount Laurel Police Department, who investigated and charged her, the prosecutor’s office said.

She was indicted by a grand jury on one count of theft by failure to make disposition. She is expected to be arraigned in the near future in Superior Court of Burlington County, in Mount Holly, the statement said.
