A tiny article on the front page of the Ridgeway Journal dated September 28, 1922 announced that Miss Zelma Dale had opened a kindergarten in the “west room of the Christian Church where children between the ages of three and six are being admitted for instruction.” A number of children had already been signed up for the class. “Miss Zelma Dale is the ideal instructor and the Journal wishes her abundant success.”
The Ridgeway Public school had a kindergarten class since at least 1907, so this little school would have been in addition to the public school offering. (Ridgeway News, Oct 31, 1907.)
