You will have another option for 4K in the Gibraltar Area School District. The district announced on Thursday that it would be collaborating with The Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor for a new nature-based 4K program. The Ridges’ Dragonfly Nature Preschool 4K Program will join the already-established community collaborative Gibraltar 4K sites at Gibraltar Elementary and the Northern Door Children’s Center. Although nature will be the centerpiece of the curriculum, the program will still meet the same standards as the other two sites. Gibraltar Elementary School Principal and 4K Director Lauren Ward says adding the collaboration will be an excellent addition to the district.

If you are interested in having your kids attend 4K in Gibraltar Area School District, there will be an informational meeting at the Northern Door Children’s Center on January 25th at 5:00 pm. Enrollment is slated to begin on February 1st. Any child who will be four years old by September 1st, 2024, and live in the Gibraltar Area School District is eligible to enroll. However, a limited number of spots will be available through open enrollment.
