$1500 enrollment fee is crazy! What happens if you start there and within a few weeks or a month something happens that causes you to not like it? What if they also have turn over problems (I assume you asked about this in the interview and know that it's not an issue). I assume this is not refundable. I wouldn't pay this, so this place wouldn't work for me. You never really know a place until your child attends for a few weeks/months.

I can understand doing a playdate. Did they say that it was to check for "developmental benchmarks"? I wonder what exactly they meant by that? I immediately thought they meant developmental milestones, but I suppose PP's are right and they're checking to see that baby can be put down/take a bottle/etc and that makes sense.
