Care for Children 2.5 to 6 Years

The Corky Magnolia Den is a vibrant part of The Corky Child Care Garden family, designed especially for preschool and pre-K learners. Opened in August 2024, The Den is nestled on a beautiful 2-acre property in Meridianville and offers a rich, intentional early childhood experience for children ages 2.5 to 5.

Inside The Den, children learn and grow in three thoughtfully curated classrooms:

🐾 The Little Stinkers – the youngest in the pack
🦊 The Friendly Foxes – our energetic Pre-3
🐺 The Wolf Pups – our confident, Pre-K learners preparing for Kindergarten

In true Den fashion, all of our animals live and learn in “packs,” creating a strong sense of belonging, teamwork, and community. Each classroom environment is play-based, developmentally aligned, and designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and connection.

Please note: enrollment in The Den requires children to be independently potty trained.

The Corky Magnolia Den is a place where big kid energy meets heart-centered learning—rooted in love, play, and a whole lot of wild wonder.

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!
