Living a life of gratitude is a choice I make every day (livethankfuldaily) and Magnolia is something I remain grateful for. As a parent, I know how important these early years are in building a foundation for lifelong learning and growth.

At Magnolia, we create a space where children can safely explore their big feelings, build meaningful social connections, and nurture their natural curiosity about the world. Here, they discover their resilience, their power, and their worth. They learn to make thoughtful decisions by being given the freedom to make choices. They find their voice—and they come to know it matters.

This work is not just my purpose; it’s my joy. I know the children may not remember my name years from now, but I hope they will carry with them the deep, unshakable sense of being loved, safe, and valued. ❤️I hope they’ll feel the peace and wonder that nature brings and know, with quiet certainty, that they can make a difference in the world.

Each year, I watch children leave Magnolia with confidence, kindness, and curiosity, ready to embrace life with open hearts and minds. It’s sacred work—beautiful, challenging, and profoundly meaningful—and I am honored to be a part of their journey.
