Sorry I can not type in Chinese now.
# Q7 _/ p3 ?5 l" c6 N' }$ w; j8 B+ W, \  D
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.+ V/ v% b* i* S8 U$ C+ B; Y

Anyone concerned and/or more experienced handling this situation are welcomed to join in this discussion:# a6 P, [' h8 V; _5 g

2 L: r5 |. L; E6 ~1 bWe 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:, X. n. H, R' _6 P, M% e" B0 \# s6 q
  u0 T, G) C0 F7 }7 ]$ 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.
9 W2 w+ t: G2 G7 SNo on site child care available. : y/ S% u/ c: f8 {3 f

8 o' h3 `$ f0 D$ C' A( ZIF 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.

Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.# S9 v, e5 `0 k/ }) D" i% q1 ~
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.
