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.& Q* V3 @" x' O# d# v0 \

To kick it off, here are my two cents. ; y1 s1 b2 q' ~4 _0 s" p9 A

7 N- [* P( {1 `: I$ T% IWe 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:& D, X. E& [6 Q! q
. w! m) P' `9 U' H. p) t
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.
7 a5 _  y+ L7 zNo on site child care available. 0 U( x' w# t4 S3 N

# ^6 |) _7 ?% ^$ h0 \' A& B+ d: [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.

: `1 ]/ L' a& A; WOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.* b% d' c6 y& j8 W+ d9 _
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. 3 |- }# a5 m! e" X3 k1 ~. A
