Sorry I can not type in Chinese now.

/ J1 `) ]' h4 ^  \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.1 ~. u! V0 F/ ]& r' ?8 t, }" y

To kick it off, here are my two cents. 5 n- G  a# p4 K. j) ?4 |" w
3 O3 \: B5 @( t* V) G% ]
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:
' D. X8 ]1 ^( V+ w: E5 M# J8 z( \" Y- @' 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.
9 F9 B1 t8 ~" aNo on site child care available. 5 M6 Y' L+ `4 V$ b( l) I

+ S1 K; J) n, _' IIF 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.

* Z- c8 g! ?. {- ?% g9 ~& AOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.* k/ k5 o3 F' E6 m7 ?
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.
