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.; B% ~6 R; c& S4 g3 G

To kick it off, here are my two cents. ) B  H  s; Q, M; L+ {1 T

5 `1 I  Y2 C& A1 g# i! R% E! e 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:
5 `5 }/ Q5 v) G' T
$ N) F8 f: E1 u  nOption 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 Y& I$ S: t+ a6 R* U) f& I( |5 N No on site child care available.
4 B* P1 D3 N0 F, G' c4 Y! s. B6 y8 ^6 H$ W1 Y1 e; e, w8 m5 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 n' I/ q+ F, c( x  a1 S5 x/ Q/ jOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.+ {6 s  g9 H! O9 p
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.
