PITTSBURGH — A woman accused of stealing more than $44,000 from a Pittsburgh day care center where she worked was arrested Saturday morning, police said.
Kristin Koscienski, 32, was hired in March 2014 as an administrative coordinator at Hilltop Community Children's Center and was responsible for processing payments from families, according to a criminal complaint. Shortly after she was questioned about financial concerns by the day care’s executive director, she resigned and said she was moving to Florida.

According to the complaint, the executive director said that in recent months she noticed a decline in the amount of money deposited monthly. It was later discovered that Koscienski had not been writing receipts for all payments received, but marked in a computer ledger that the parents paid.
Upon comparing available receipts with the computer ledger, the executive director found that the receipts Koscienski failed to produce between Feb. 19, 2016, and June 26, 2017, totaled $44,112.
