Broadmoor Preschool offers a two-year preschool program through a partnership with the San Leandro Adult School, with a younger class for 3–4 year olds and an older class for 4–5 year olds. In this co-op model, parents participate in the program as assistant teachers, and parents and children learn side-by-side in a fun and loving atmosphere. The program also offers evening parent education classes.

Broadmoor Preschool has been sponsored by the San Leandro Adult School since 1952. It is a member of the California Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools and is actively involved in the East Bay Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools. The stated purpose of the parent nursery school program is to best nurture the development of the young child through the magic of play, and to support parents in their understanding of the child’s development. Field trips have included Elkus Ranch in Half Moon Bay, Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, Freight & Salvage Theater Musical Storytime in Berkeley, Sulphur Creek Nature Center in Hayward, Joan's Pumpkin Patch in Livermore, Tilden Nature Area & Little Farm in Berkeley, Adventure Playground in Berkeley, Crab Cove in Alameda, Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont, Oakland Museum of California in Oakland, and Children's Fairyland in Oakland.
