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.9 j! A. i0 I7 w( {# _7 M

To kick it off, here are my two cents. & D# n, x% Y5 u, d1 l5 h3 r7 K6 m

8 H: T: ], H2 K0 D 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 U4 R% b7 b% X, ~9 q

! u' i! e/ k+ s7 J3 W; l/ E5 {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. * u5 N+ m. E$ c! N! b* f4 ?# L
No on site child care available. 7 c1 j8 x& V: B# h

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.3 P# U. `4 h6 A+ [" r  _% f- X

5 `. i8 z( U. U2 g5 {1 NOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
+ |4 _) W) z: E: a& ]8 H) d 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.
