Boston Catholic schools see big demand for preschool

From The Boston Globe: Boston-area Catholic schools have discovered a new niche that they hope will help reverse a decades-long decline in student population: preschool. Enrollment in local Catholic preschool classes this year is up nearly 14 percent over last year and 22 percent over five years ago, as elementary schools in the Boston Archdiocese have added programs for 3- and 4-year-olds and freestanding Catholic preschools have sprung up in response to surging demand.
