Kokopelli Discovery Center

Preschool Prom 2026

Our teachers have worked tirelessly to create imaginative centers, including oversized cupcakes, an ice cream waterfall with dippin dots, a chocolate kitchen with cocoa play-dough and pretend chocolates, a lollipop shop with artificial lollipops and clay candy, and so much more!
