Sorry I can not type in Chinese now. ) ^: Z6 J" b* T4 f5 B' z8 a

, ~- Y: W5 h# y5 A' [7 ~6 V 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., Y; ^  n" U# T

Anyone concerned and/or more experienced handling this situation are welcomed to join in this discussion:. J8 N. l1 @0 x5 a+ n; }

5 W& J4 M- b% Q2 ~5 N5 i To kick it off, here are my two cents.
# A4 ^. D  ^& G! q& X( @- a
, k" C/ U6 x3 t. o( S 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:/ E$ n7 \4 q- F

4 H2 C) h: J3 @$ h" ?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. 5 R. o. S4 V5 ^* l9 k
No on site child care available.
( ~1 R5 q" h. {1 y$ O" u! d' M
9 R+ t( j, }" B; h 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.
. k; ~( K* I  z- _) q) c
$ F8 v6 Z2 X# L4 {Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list." ^3 {% ~+ U- {+ Z0 A8 ^
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.
