Broad Street Pre-School

Click Here To View The CYO Broad Street Pre-School Fact Sheet

Welcome to the CYO Pre-School!  We look forward to helping your child prepare for Kindergarten by showing him/her the necessary tools to explore, discover, make new friends, and become self reliant.   The importance of a good preschool experience cannot be stressed enough. We now know through scientific research that three and four year old children have an enormous capacity to learn and develop. If this capacity is not stimulated during these years, children miss a critical opportunity. A quality preschool program can help children to develop reading, writing and math foundations as well as social skills that prepare them for later success in school and in life.
