Can't believe she told you no about giving you back that money...I recently visited a daycare that was asking for a whole month of deposit (and I have two kids) so 1000$!! I said no immediatly... They say it's to protect them, but honestly, we can only trust them about the good usage of that money...Has your daughter's been there for a long time? Cause if she's crying a little, that's just normal, she did not choose the right career for have quiet days... But where is it exactly, cause I'm going to visit a new daycare this week, and it's called Les petits anges d'Angélica, just wanna make sure it's not the same, mine's in Saint-Jean.
Good luck for finding another daycare by the way!!!
