& y# p+ m( S5 X We live in Magrath Heights and we are currently struggling with our 5-year-old daughter's to Kindergarten registration.  I wonder if there are parents in Magrath, MacTaggart area who are struggling with this issue as well. I wish to explore possibilities to group up and help each other out on making our lives easier with the half-day kindergarten program.& y. ]) H* y& f/ X, y

We need to make up our mind as to which school to register to since one kid can only send in ONE registration at a time, and it can be really hard to switch school in the middle of the year. Currently there are two options for my daughter:

, B7 g# ?" ?# t/ ]# `Option 1: Regular program - a new school - Nellie Carlson(http://www.epsb.ca/schools/newsc ... ions/nelliecarlson/) is under construction and scheduled to open September 2016; boundaries not finalized yet. 8 v6 q0 X5 N( F5 T. N. A8 j
No on site child care available. ) q! s9 R5 G2 r  _2 ~# Q

: z+ ^8 q0 c6 ?& a$ F IF we fall under the final boundary, what to do with the afternoons? My husband and I both work full-time 30 minutes drive from home. I maybe able to take one afternoon off in a week, part-time is not likely an option.9 d8 ]& X( g5 q* \$ ?7 M

/ d) W, ]4 T% w5 FOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.; ?) m* e' B2 z& F& E6 ^$ _1 x' ~1 }! \
Honestly, I wish to send my daughter to the Mandarin Bilingual school, but again, there is the afternoon issue, YMCA is not guaranteed and expensive. I wonder if there are other parents considering this school and we could come up with a program to support each other and incorporate with Chinese elements. " `# ^7 s; k4 |; b5 c3 @& @
