3 l( d" G4 N' G4 L" mWe 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.: S' x5 a& m( e( B- Z, u

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:
2 b* f+ m' j0 O' o( ^) o# t- q/ @% H& w
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.
- @! D6 d" Y2 G: q& HNo on site child care available. ; q: d8 H3 l2 |1 d: W* k

3 f- a' Y; C4 ], D3 Y7 J3 ~6 j- iIF 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.* _& P$ O$ f6 y5 }# l  b' l

* k6 I' z# W& Z! T" h; H+ W8 W% [" JOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
' @' r1 F! \) I% THonestly, 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.
