Would you pay a deposit for a spot in September?

Need to send daughter to new daycare in the fall. We know so much is unknown, who knows if schools/daycare will be open, if they’ll need to cut spots, etc. but we can’t just not have a plan for when I go back to work. Would you pay a big deposit at this point? (Over 2k). I’m just worried they don’t open or end up not being able to give us a spot. Ugh.

Are they guaranteeing a spot for $2k? Is it refundable if you don't get one? I'd pay a $100 waitlist fee but not $2k with no refund.

No

I’ll have to ask when they send the contract over. Thank you.

Absolutely. Get your spot while you can. There are not enough preschools after this. Secure for your family.

Over $2K? Naw!

Yes, save your spot. If they are unable to open on time I can’t imagine they won’t adjust. Is it tuition or enrollment deposit?
