As a readiness program, the COMO Preschool, which is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), implements a curriculum that takes into consideration age-appropriate skill building while simultaneously encouraging and supporting fun and exploration throughout the day.

We strive to provide an array of stimulating opportunities within our curriculum that meet the (NAEYC) national standards of quality and allow for ALL students to be successful. As part of our commitment to excellence and providing rewarding experiences to youth in our community all COMO staff adhere to the ideals and principles of NAEYC’s Code of Conduct.

We strive to create a loving and secure atmosphere that provides each child with the tools necessary to grow and develop socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically.

We believe that every child deserves to feel as safe and comfortable in their place of learning as they do in their own homes. At our preschool, we make every effort to ensure the children know that we are proud of them, because we truly believe that children learn best when they feel good about themselves!

The Doris Muller Preschool has been shaping the lives of children and impacting their families since 1969. While we draw from our incredible history, we appreciate the value of evolving and adapting to individual students’ needs and the changing COMO campus.

The COMO campus is a vital part of our classroom as we explore and learn together.

Due to limited spaces available, registration is available at the COMO. If you would like to know what days and times are available, please contact Priscilla Rouquayrol at 860.535.2476 ext. 102 or via email, p.rouquayrol@thecomo.org.

Our programs establish and maintain collaborative relationships with each child’s family and are sensitive to family composition, language, and culture. Teachers gain information about the ways families define their own race, religion, home language, culture, and family structure and use that information to adapt the curriculum and teaching methods to the families served. Children are provided with equal opportunities to discuss and participate in leadership roles, and in activities such as dramatic play where children may choose to participate in non-stereotypical roles. Language diversity is incorporated into the curriculum and the physical space of our classrooms. Materials and equipment used to implement the curriculum reflect the lives of the children and families as well as the diversity found in society. Visual images of adult roles, differing abilities, and ethnic or cultural backgrounds that counter stereotypical limitations are prevalent.
