[quote=Anonymous]Unless it specifically says it's a deposit, though, it's not. It's an application fee. Is it ridiculous to have to pay a steep application fee for daycare for a 5 month old baby? Yes, absolutely. But at least on the 3 waiting lists I spent time on, it was very clear on the form that it was a) not a guarantee of anything at any time and b) not refundable. I was told that the application fee for DD1 could be transferred to DC2 by a center we were not currently enrolled in when I called to see if I could get on the list at 8 weeks pregnant, but since I miscarried two weeks later, I don't know how it would have played out in practical terms. The only true refund I ever heard of was related to stillbirth. My friend got her waitlist fee back from the 2 places she signed up for when she lost her baby at 8.5 months. She went to the center and explained to the directors in person. [/quote]
