/ q3 m5 i. H8 H4 I3 g" bWe 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.3 u+ m% c- |+ W: E

To kick it off, here are my two cents.
; j" ^! Z+ \# _: @, }  K
- g+ b4 \/ W, Q/ C0 ]; QWe 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:7 j7 q* C- D6 `% G& w

: d0 I! A2 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. ) T- |* [+ @# i3 d$ Y
No on site child care available. $ U- C: b! d) m/ B' P9 Y3 _

* ^. c; u  S( L' b# v  H; I' kIF 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.- B# N; y3 v5 n. G+ ~

) e! E% g, }3 n& G$ KOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
& g  Q  L% Q9 c% z2 Q5 ZHonestly, 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. 7 Q9 F3 S' f! U" p

Thank you for your input!
