2 K: B! `, c& z, `* B( MWe 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.8 P; |* E% ^* E6 z7 `2 ^, F

To kick it off, here are my two cents.
# I, e4 T5 S) |" Q0 H. e! R$ @
; D" `: g; }# `( |: [/ q, Q3 ?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: i. p' x2 G

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.
1 [9 d, H) H: z& K9 L" b' F# WNo on site child care available. 9 e$ K  U/ ]9 j" @5 c, U

+ ]1 V  Y' V+ |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.3 r% ]/ {& [, V/ H) U

: L2 S$ `$ p- V! ]/ V5 qOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list." S6 y( V. a* K% L
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. " E6 Q7 V0 r6 [4 r
