0 E% }$ L* S( ^2 o2 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.% ~" Z: ?! z6 T: _# _: {8 f

To kick it off, here are my two cents.
+ \" f$ O4 U& v: [! A8 u
& d# j* {1 m2 V2 E4 C- |" d9 ? 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:* N8 W* Q6 n: _4 L+ D
9 C$ G  n$ [+ v3 Z! o
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 P4 V% t% z( L# c
No on site child care available.
; a2 q5 o2 ^+ P9 P$ g! {7 W3 T
* z5 L, b2 M3 P 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./ }0 N# t- ]5 r% r$ \+ i

+ l: o" t4 n2 s$ Z9 E6 }; rOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
, p4 I- C$ @$ v 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. 5 L) Q; c* v3 I0 G1 D9 _$ ^
