Sorry I can not type in Chinese now.   }, P2 P5 i! f" E6 Z

! ^: _* p: u9 u 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.) V6 R: V' q" K! W0 u

To kick it off, here are my two cents. . o% |# {- N! K) O+ h

$ u2 v, M# V1 N 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:# O% b: j8 T' p/ D$ O
, ~3 [& ]  C+ m9 j9 K# H5 o% j( L5 {" c
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.
. }$ w( @9 a& m, z1 O/ I No on site child care available. # L1 E: e, @0 ~
8 e2 Q) g5 Z5 W  Z4 E' F' r7 M
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.

6 [, K( e; j+ N& _8 ^6 mOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
' a$ r- K7 o# Z4 y* t* v. W 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.
