Care for Children 4 Weeks to 6 Years

The Corky Magnolia is a vibrant extension of The Corky Child Care Garden family, offering full-time care for children ages 0–6 on a beautiful 2-acre property in Meridianville. This location stands out for its expanded capacity to love on even more infants and toddlers in the cozy Magnolia Main House—home to some of our tiniest learners.

What truly sets this location apart is the addition of The Corky Magnolia Den, opened in August 2024, which brings a rich, intentional preschool and pre-K experience to life.

From the nurturing care in the Magnolia Main House to the big kid energy of The Den, The Corky Magnolia offers a full-circle early childhood experience rooted in love, play, and learning.

Cannot recommend this place enough!! It’s evident the staff loves their jobs & every child that walks through their door. Each day is structured with playtime, sensory time…all the great things kids need to thrive! As a mom who had a horrible daycare experience prior to Corky (Magnolia), enrolling my son somewhere else was nerve wracking. But the moment I met the owner & the owner’s mom, I KNEW Eric would be so loved & be in a great environment. The staff is also amazing with communicating with parents. At drop off, he’s excited to go in and play with all the other kids & knowing he is that excited when handed over to a teacher is the best feeling!

We absolutely love The Corky Violet! They take amazing care of my children, and keep me updated throughout the day by communicating through the app. My kids are happy at drop off and pick up. Highly recommended!

We have been in multiple daycares over the years and The Corky Violet is the best! Both of our kids come home from “school” learning something new every day! I’ve never had to question the love the teachers have for the kids. You can see it with drop off and pick up each day! The parent/teacher communication is wonderful, and the extras that Mrs. Jessyca does really shows!

We are so thrilled with this school! It is such a weight off my shoulders as a parent knowing that my daughter is loved on, cared for, learning, and having fun when I drop her off every day! Ms. Susan and Ms. Brittney are incredible and my daughter talks about how much she loves them all the time. My 3 year old is coming home and showing me sign language and talking about all the sounds the letters make and which ones are vowels. I'm blown away! Couldn't ask for a better place for her to spend her preschool days. Going back to work full time and having to send my baby somewhere all day was such a difficult decision, but I never have to worry about her while she's there and that peace of mind is worth every penny. We are so, so grateful for The Corky Violet/The Corky Magnolia!
