2 S8 Q: D7 `) B$ t, |4 K 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.9 N0 |2 U/ d: W

) A/ L7 n6 d7 m# U4 U& K 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:
8 v/ Y6 g- M; C, g: g' e. [( f* H; W# y& h% Y9 V$ ~3 Q
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. e! d' N3 j' C+ s No on site child care available. ) @' {: J: R+ n7 K) A& K4 L* ]2 Z, }

8 h3 m: K: v' x5 c2 s* q 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.

  ~* M. s. U& R3 M; u/ O( h" G$ W' 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" H0 c6 r% R* \( 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.
