I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

After putting down a $150 waitlist fee and a $300 security deposit, we were lucky to find another daycare center that was closer to our work than GBELC. We informed GBELC that we wouldn't be using our spot with two weeks notice, but they refused to return our security deposit. The ladies who work with the kids seem nice, but don't trust their business manager and his cut-throat business practices!
