4 X4 I6 W0 U* XWe 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 Z. o, p5 _; b4 l2 V) i5 d

Anyone concerned and/or more experienced handling this situation are welcomed to join in this discussion:

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:! ^* m' g: t/ `- _1 }; R) y

2 m- e0 |, q4 e, @2 \4 MOption 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.   n% S3 ]* `+ d% ^. J
No on site child care available. - W4 {& H; }) F, l2 |9 K4 T5 j. s+ c

1 Y$ X* j3 m; _* P9 h3 ]7 {/ g" Z: HIF 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., j3 N! v- @% @

8 Y0 C( s5 F+ q0 H$ F, a2 ^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 w. g( X, k! \" w9 N  ~2 Y
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.
