In 2012, Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church took a leap of faith when it opened a preschool for 3 and 4 year olds.
Next month, the church and the school will leap ahead again, this time opening a kindergarten class as it expands the school.
Father Thomas Maikowski, the priest of Immaculate Heart, explained the expansion is primarily due to requests of parents who had children in the school.
He explained the school is in the process of seeking accreditation through the Western Catholic Education Association.
“As part of that process, there’s a lot of questionnaires you give out to parents,” Maikowski said. “There were 12 respondents and of the 12, six wanted kindergarten.”
In some ways, Immaculate Heart is a traditional Catholic School. Nuns teach the classes and students attend Mass and pray before meals. But it is also very much a school.
