Is it normal for daycare to charge application fee before submittal?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Is it normal to be charged to receive an application for a daycare? Im in the process of touring daycares and we recently toured one where the owner required we pay $50 to get the application paperwork. On the application it says the application fee and admission fee are due at the time of registration, which I assume is when the application is submitted, not received. We’re new to all of this so wanted to understand if this is normal? </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/IllustriousHeart3479"> /u/IllustriousHeart3479 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Westchester/comments/1ssrn42/is_it_normal_for_daycare_to_charge_application/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Westchester/comments/1ssrn42/is_it_normal_for_daycare_to_charge_application/">[comments]</a></span>
