: M) h1 D. k$ ^( g, p! vWe 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.- R" O) d1 k: Z4 G

- t+ ^& d9 l8 X' y0 WWe 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:. ^& s( L0 H/ ?
/ `! b+ Q+ F6 I+ w& N: |; p9 b. s
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. - i& h' c, ?. c5 Z% z: [
No on site child care available. : k. F, o# q& {7 P

/ v: X' O' F  P9 JIF 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.! N- k5 q0 p7 m5 Q8 O
& ^+ D3 Y, m- j2 C  K. n4 V1 N6 K
Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
+ b" n' H* t# G8 \* \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.
