/ V# Z3 c! r% Y9 t 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.

To kick it off, here are my two cents.
' `/ `5 u! v0 Q
9 S1 _* j2 H( f' } 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 X7 a5 o" N  o" K

- b, B1 W& i, t) d$ }8 a' C0 aOption 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.
) b0 x1 B0 b+ E: F* e- p No on site child care available.
. D: `: T4 X4 W- j# }$ E  L5 o0 `# P5 D- ~6 ~) F+ 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.

0 Q( m# j' q& ^* P8 P# _Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
7 a2 \# w4 c+ v  { 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. 6 ]# ?) s% R- m9 V# U1 r& A: x
