[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: The paper work I filled out says:

There is no guarantee of a spot until I have
been notified of an opening and have paid a deposit equal to one month’s tuition. There is a waitlist
fee of $150.00 that is non-refundable that must be submitted.

So to me this means I would have to pay 1 month tuition, not 6 to hold my spot. [/quote]

If a spot opens up in November 2022 and you are #1 on the waitlist, they will offer you the spot.  If you want the spot, it means you start paying for the spot no matter when you start sending your baby.  If you decline the spot, they will keep you on the waitlist, but move to the next person.  But if no one else leaves by March 2023, they can not guarantee you a spot.

Otherwise the daycare is losing money holding an open spot for you.

It expensive, yes.  But it's just how it is.  We had to pay for a few extra months to hold spots for our infants at our daycare.  It was worth the peace of mind for me honestly, to know I had it there when I was ready to go back to work.[/quote]
