The payment scam OP is describing is ILLEGAL.

OP is obviously an unethical daycare owner trying to get as much money out of people as possible.

For something to be illegal, it has to break a law. What law do you think is being broken, and why do you think it applies?

There is no guarantee of daycare spots in this country. Many families couldn't afford to pay anything, anyway, and they do without. [/quote]

It is BRIBERY to select clients by what monies they paid to reserve spots while services were NOT offered, so that they could get services in the future.

This is very specific.

Daycares have already been sued for refusing to reimburse tuition for services not rendered.

They are going to get sued again if they try that little game.

DP.  You do realize that using ALL CAPS doesn't actually make your point any more valid, right?

That is not remotely bribery.  It is payment for a good or service -- in this case payment for a spot when it became available.  That's not bribery.

Say a daycare had a spot before you wanted it or even before your kid was old enough to attend.  Many parents paid for weeks or months to reserve the spot under these circumstances.  That's not illegal.

In other contexts, a company with a very sought after product can change extra (or require you to pay to join a special group) to gain first access to the sought after product.  Not illegal.

I really do love when we get broad, sweeping, authoritative legal pronouncements on DCUM from people who are obviously not lawyers.[/quote]

Wrong comparison.

OP is talking about giving priority to families who paid more. It falls under bribery and extortion.

It’s very clear.
