Sorry I can not type in Chinese now. * J# t+ T9 K9 _% u  K) h

  x  T/ n5 ~0 K. r4 t 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.

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:
* g# v/ }; |) e' S/ e. P$ l- U0 A* E# Z% Y1 o; U: a: H/ R
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.
6 ]$ [, o$ T9 Z! L! P No on site child care available. % q  D. ^% z1 W( u$ U

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.; T: W6 |2 |0 w7 ?7 z- T0 V* L7 ^

% {' b: i: x" O) h2 T. u 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.
