This deposit is just for the chance to get in, paying to get on the waiting list
Normal for all day cares?

No. Not at all.
Maybe for a highly in demand Montessori school, or something similar, but I've personally never encountered one with my 2 kids.

I believe I paid $200/kid deposit at an in demand daycare in BR.

I've seen a few like that. Those are the really high demand ones.
The one I know of is $250. Its fricking ridiculous.

If you want your kids to play with toys that have only been in the mouths of 50 kids and not a 1,000, you better pay up.

I've had to pay a deposit to get on a waiting list, but if the kid didn't get in, then I could get it back. If the kid did get in, I then had to prepay I think two weeks tuition, and the deposit basically became the registration fee.
Sounds like what you have is more of an application fee. Schools charge non-refundable application fees all the time.

If there is high demand, yes

Yes. Normal.

Most in New Orleans at least charge an application fee. Many are starting to require non-refundable deposits too. The problem is that many parents will apply to multiple daycares and hold spots at one or two daycares while waiting to see if they get into their first choice. It creates problems.

the most we paid for waiting lists was $65 in Baton Rouge...for LSU and for ELC (1st UMC). was around 30-40th down the list at both. LSU finally called at age 3.
Pretty sure we paid nonrefundable registration fees like $150 where we committed to going.

Yes it's normal, unless you send your kids to "sketchy tots, inc."
