Sorry I can not type in Chinese now.

1 [# s0 f* i$ _; v& G5 E" c: o* @6 F% GWe 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.2 s! a! y2 z  c

Anyone concerned and/or more experienced handling this situation are welcomed to join in this discussion:% j5 O: x# g( E" N' ]: i2 G1 y2 v

To kick it off, here are my two cents.
' B4 ~5 F5 t% l' E5 i- H. Q8 I7 L7 L5 A2 s2 i5 Y, _* 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:
. ^7 D0 G3 Z/ k  t1 u9 m& p) N  S, k9 j5 `" R3 Y2 I7 c, l- @
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.
. e0 p* }$ X1 }9 bNo on site child care available.
3 p- m0 C' i3 ?( B9 w& [1 k4 r& F' G/ m8 m$ W
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.1 O/ |" T9 M6 {

4 s) f; f* b: V3 @& gOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
+ y+ q3 e. b' tHonestly, 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. 3 M( D7 c& h5 q: E" c
