Is my daycare trying to get over on me?

I put my daughter into daycare August 2006. I had to put down a $135 deposit, plus $135 for the first week of child care ($270 total). I was told that the deposit would be used towards the last week of school for when the child graduated from Kindergarten. I was also given a school policy with the last revision date as September 2005. I had some disputes with the school constantly making me get a doctor's note everytime my daughter got sick (even for common colds and low-grade fevers), so I disenrolled her as of February 22, 2008. I usually paid her tuition for the whole month all at once. I have another daughter that goes there, so when it was time to pay her tuition, I deducted $135 to reimburse myself for the deposit that was paid for my 1st daughter. I was told by the director that I could not do that because my 1st daughter's deposit was non-refundable. I told them that they never told me that. The director told me to read my policy. I pulled the policy from out my safe, and it was nothing in the policy about my deposit being non-refundable. I told the director this, and she said that the policy was updated in 2007 and she handed me a new one 3/3/08. I explained to her that I never got this new policy and that I still do not feel like she should be getting an EXTRA $135 of my money if my daughter is not there to graduate from Kindergarten. It's bad enough that she got paid for the full month of February when I took my daughter out on the 22nd of Feb. So I refused to pay it and she's threatening to take me to court. Does she have a case?

Based on what you say here, you could file suit against them (or at least threaten to do so) in small claims court or in regular court; filing in small claims court is easier and requires no attorney...you could try to collect all of the costs and damages that you suffered due to their behavior... you never agreed to the new terms you may argue.
