$ M* n0 O3 N' S. h4 K$ z/ v7 QWe 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.

. [9 t) s" Z& C$ e6 w  g1 TWe 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:
  Q% q2 I9 [7 h5 k: |/ }! N4 G, Y8 ]0 w
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.
% E. @6 u& \% t( @; H4 W" \, tNo on site child care available.
8 @7 |8 O/ k& F/ E
1 l* Z2 R3 b" k5 BIF 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.
  A: m( [: \6 F, C* G' Y! Z1 _4 t% m, s
Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
2 ]3 {& E/ A* Z! r1 Z, m) w6 EHonestly, 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. 9 \* z. B6 S9 y9 |1 k4 i' V9 q
