: _$ n6 _, }) c( m1 p 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.3 y# S' @+ c% P1 R- B  S: z  c7 V1 Q

To kick it off, here are my two cents. 7 D+ q; Z3 j4 k# u( O

( O' L8 x7 }* W: t+ S* D 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:: g6 M% [& ^1 H$ o9 g

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 |% ~3 l: v: [ No on site child care available.
2 _& j5 }. N* ?% b7 H! l* B5 Y% y+ v* t; Z
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.# s" k4 w$ z) R* x: y7 A3 h* k; m

Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
& ?  Z, B0 ^1 s; 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. ) R6 y0 j: p! A/ @  U9 ~% k
