Impacting Overall School Adjustment Through the Power of Play

COMET For Primary Project

​​From day one, COMET was created to support the data collection and reporting needs of the Teacher-Child Rating Scale and Primary Project for The Children’s Institute.  For decades, Primary Project has proven to be a reliable, validated, evidence-based program that helps children in Pre-K through third grade adjust to school, gain confidence, social skills, and focus on learning. Through play, Primary Project addresses children’s school adjustment difficulties and increases their chances for success.
