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.

  H/ S' [- ~0 P1 y3 f* z. u 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:
) I7 f1 i: A3 s# p6 k6 W/ n; [3 M# A
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 D; e  n5 o( `! d% L. j
No on site child care available.
' u( K) d' t9 n1 f: \5 i
2 l  \) x; Q! b8 q: ] 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.6 |& J4 t7 o" E/ p, b1 L( t) Z( u

& `. V' s" [) I' H1 ]Option 2: Mandarin Bilingual program - Parkallen School where there is a YMCA KinderCare close by, $755 a month, AND there is a wait list.5 B% k1 h" T) c1 P/ t+ x  p5 W# I
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. ( E3 |" m' p+ y5 w  v# N4 o# b
