- V# A4 x- h; u; B' ?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.4 [( c. y0 t$ \' i* o

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

To kick it off, here are my two cents. + E! m' J( C! `" Y4 @

; B' N" f9 o8 r, V: t6 vWe 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:# |( V9 Y& v  S; t. L/ G- M

  x1 I' J5 u7 gOption 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.
" I' E3 i$ t! z! F! y; d  NNo on site child care available. % I/ R! \5 T5 E/ ~. c1 ]" x

8 s: w1 s  }+ W2 Y' z! K6 X. 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.

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 v& v0 ~# n8 k5 g8 n- u5 f
