Sorry I can not type in Chinese now.

- J* g, P; _. m4 X- a% ~: g+ y4 r6 ZWe 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.. p- q2 G& x3 V& |" b7 A

To kick it off, here are my two cents. % }! G5 t" h' u5 d! m

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 w: ?& r& m8 Z: f( y) s: A, b& Q2 N+ {
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.
4 _. _9 y  G5 K0 o  z! wNo on site child care available. 7 V' ^5 w+ k0 W' |/ W! B; F% K

% n* V1 n7 g& w( oIF 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.4 p" Y9 I" G4 H  B4 D9 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.- m/ I& W& L7 V+ f# c6 m
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.
