Sorry I can not type in Chinese now. ) y( }, u) d7 _' O1 w

8 D5 W" N( y+ r3 S$ m 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.

8 K* K; s7 o6 C& O" y! r8 R To kick it off, here are my two cents. - u; ~/ L7 `* S) _6 N

; c# K# [! i/ Z. b0 W) `- | 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:
2 {* X# X4 [, K
1 a4 B5 ~5 N6 jOption 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.
2 x8 F$ J/ P. V5 J# x( g  ~% S No on site child care available. 3 I% \- |8 c# h: Y4 s

) L  N4 q$ Z1 {8 h9 |6 h3 s 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.

& G  H% W8 W; o8 p5 P% WOption 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.
4 g+ ?. H* a+ X, t* p- \/ h 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. ' \( D" f: n7 }9 D
