[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else annoyed with daycare waitlist fees? With my first child I wasted $500+ getting on waitlists, but then nothing was available in time and we went with a nanny share. I’m looking for care for a second child but I can’t seem to get answers from many places about how many people are already on the waitlist. Daycare owners/staff/teachers, do these $50-$200 fees actually serve a purpose or are they just free money and a way to take advantage of new parent anxieties?[/quote]

No.  They are a way to give parents that do not want to invest in enrolled spots and invest the deposit to do so.  Schools only want serious parents.  If you’re not one, stay on the wait list and shut up[/quote]

Every parent looking for care for their child is a "serious parent" this is absurd. If these daycare are going to collect wait list fees, then they really should be transparent with families about their status on the list. If a care provider is unwilling to be open about their business model and practices, I would not want to leave my child with that provider, because what else will they conceal?
