About Us

At Magnolia House Kids, we believe childhood should be filled with movement, creativity, connection, and joyful play. Founded by Jackie Spada, owner and operator, Magnolia House Kids was created from a passion for healthy childhood development, family-centered care, and building a warm, welcoming space where little ones can truly thrive.

Jackie and her husband, Ben, are raising their four children while building a life rooted in family, community, active living, and meaningful connection. As a military family with years of childcare experience, they understand the importance of finding trustworthy, nurturing care that feels like an extension of home.

Magnolia House Kids is proudly connected to Iron Magnolia Fitness, Jackie’s wellness and fitness brand focused on helping women and families live strong, healthy, active lives. Together, the two brands share a mission of encouraging movement, confidence, healthy habits, and community from the earliest years of childhood through every stage of life.

Our childcare program is centered around play-based learning, outdoor exploration, creativity, healthy routines, and social-emotional growth. We believe children learn best through hands-on experiences, active play, and opportunities to explore the world around them in a safe and engaging environment.

Magnolia House Kids is designed to feel personal, supportive, and connected — offering families a smaller, home-like childcare experience where children are encouraged to grow with confidence, curiosity, kindness, and joy. Through thoughtful daily routines, enrichment opportunities, outdoor play, and strong family relationships, our goal is to help children build a lifelong love for learning and healthy living from the very beginning
