3 b& C$ p4 d$ w 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.

! D3 X1 g2 P* o* ~ 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:
+ ~- Y: ]8 ^' e f+ N8 i/ o( d. U7 ?; 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. 8 R) F/ N+ o7 U/ Z) c* } K
No on site child care available. + Y& d. Z# i7 n8 W: D- Y4 i7 C' B9 e
* N2 I; W8 k+ X ]0 o 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.
* C. h* H( S v9 E' F- O A; A' ?3 Z4 z h) [( j
Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
" n3 e K2 |. N2 F Honestly, I wish to send my daughter to the Mandarin Bilingual school, but again, there is the afternoon issue, YMCA is not guaranteed and expensive. I wonder if there are other parents considering this school and we could come up with a program to support each other and incorporate with Chinese elements. 2 Q0 J$ @9 f% z- t
