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.

' K& Z1 N$ Y9 R3 [  e- T  r To kick it off, here are my two cents. & _& B; i. B( y+ E

) I3 x* ^' l+ p! Q; y; |& L. z 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:

! f+ U5 a! I) P& i: i- G7 G* EOption 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. - t7 C% g. _) o% J& T/ E9 y) b
No on site child care available.
' ?2 Z! m7 l& _, B% U: p! D8 w7 K! t# G: A! r5 U# G
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.' z+ |9 U: N: ^. ?4 E

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 a; @7 J5 A' \9 e9 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. ; ?5 U0 @# o4 b- L' `
