Sorry I can not type in Chinese now. 4 }: ?0 E: m( x8 D+ ^, W' M6 R

3 ^- v6 F: m6 I6 V0 X 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.# p7 ]$ q: g2 J5 r5 N0 ]4 {8 t

To kick it off, here are my two cents. 8 ~1 E" Y7 d1 a% G: l4 Y3 T

4 A, O; s, K  |* w% }# \& L 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:
3 c; R- D7 ^; L7 J: c5 q* G  J) G
& R9 T0 S: C, {! POption 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.
* a: |8 B) G+ n. {9 e- h% H, m9 } No on site child care available. , \( r9 L/ Q7 W1 E4 c+ |& r+ k7 k
8 T7 w( C* z9 R) ?5 n
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.
  Z$ ]) |- f# Q1 u* K7 Z
7 \1 A9 b. l) y, z( @Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
! o& L2 R" A* K5 b  r! ? 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. ' @: a, C. R8 ^
