Sorry I can not type in Chinese now.   N$ Z2 R' y1 @- y

4 n& O) M7 Y+ ]: E  k8 @ 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.; s) N3 I* p$ [

" d/ [  z; Y! q9 k Anyone concerned and/or more experienced handling this situation are welcomed to join in this discussion:2 p0 ~4 p% X1 t. \6 q; }

: q9 @8 ]( j' v9 R) f& `8 S To kick it off, here are my two cents.

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:! X( H% I: ^5 v; ]  a# q

  A8 Q' `& X/ ZOption 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 j9 E' F: G7 H- v8 [5 ~7 B No on site child care available. $ {6 q* S* x4 r2 R6 O' q2 {
$ Q5 z0 j0 R' C+ o8 n
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.& n& f& v+ V) Z: \; r9 k

' u' H7 S7 K; V' d: Y3 d. W# L7 mOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
/ z) h3 @4 y& z 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. ; a! p  o% V: K6 u
