About Lil' Munchkins Daycare LLC

About Us

Welcome to Lil' Munchkins Daycare LLC—where playtime is learning time! We are a small, in-home daycare located in Burnsville, MN, offering a nurturing and personalized childcare experience that feels just like spending time with grandma. Our goal is to provide a warm, home-like environment where children can explore, learn, and grow, all while having fun and making lasting memories.

Please Note: Lil' Munchkins Daycare LLC operates in a pet-friendly home, so please inform us if your child has any pet allergies or sensitivities.

Our Story

Lil' Munchkins Daycare was born from a simple desire—to prioritize family, care, and community over the demands of a traditional job. After helping a co-worker care for her children during off-hours, it became clear how much joy and fulfillment came from providing a safe, loving environment for children to thrive. Frustrated by the challenges of working retail and being forced to choose work over family, we decided to make a change. That’s when Lil' Munchkins Daycare LLC was created—a place where children could experience a nurturing, small-scale daycare that feels like home.

Our Mission

At Lil' Munchkins Daycare, our mission is to provide high-quality, personalized care to children in a home-based setting. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn through play, explore their world, and feel cared for in a loving, supportive environment. We focus on creating an experience that is unique, intimate, and family-focused, giving children the space to grow, learn, and develop in their own time. We take pride in our role as caretakers, ensuring that each child feels valued, understood, and encouraged.

Why Choose Us?

Finding the right daycare is no small task, and we understand that every parent wants the best for their child.

Here’s why Lil' Munchkins Daycare stands out:

Play-Based Learning: We believe in the power of play to spark creativity, build problem-solving skills, and foster a love for learning. Children in our care are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and engage in fun, hands-on activities that support their developmental milestones.
Small, Home-Like Environment: We intentionally keep our group small so that each child receives personalized care and attention. Our home-based daycare offers a comforting atmosphere where children feel safe and secure—just like spending the day with grandma.
Focus on Family Values: Our commitment to family values is at the core of everything we do. By offering childcare during the school year (but we are open year-round), we provide a schedule that aligns with the academic calendar, making it an ideal option for teachers and parents with similar schedules. This balance ensures that families have the care they need while prioritizing quality time together during the school year.
Comprehensive Care: We provide everything your child needs during their day with us—from diapers and wipes to meals and bedding. Parents can rest easy knowing that all the essentials are taken care of.
A Passion for Childcare: We genuinely love what we do. Being part of your child’s growth and development is a privilege, and we are committed to providing the best care possible, ensuring each child is happy, healthy, and thriving.

Our Values

Nurturing Environment: We treat each child as part of our family, offering warmth, care, and guidance in everything we do.
Holistic Development: Our approach is designed to support the whole child—emotionally, socially, cognitively, and physically—so they can grow into confident, capable individuals.
Play-Based Learning: We emphasize learning through play, ensuring that every activity is fun, engaging, and designed to foster growth.
Outdoor Exploration: We value the importance of nature and outdoor play, encouraging children to connect with the world around them in a safe and supervised environment.

Meet Our Founder

Lil' Munchkins Daycare LLC was founded by a passionate childcare provider who, after years of working retail, wanted to create a space where children could be cared for in a loving, home-like setting. Inspired by the joy of helping a friend with her children and realizing how important family time is, she took the leap to start her own daycare. This decision was fueled by the desire to be there for her own family while making a difference in the lives of others by providing high-quality, personalized childcare.

Our Commitment to Parents

We understand how important trust is when it comes to childcare. At Lil' Munchkins, we are dedicated to building strong relationships with both the children in our care and their families. We communicate openly with parents, sharing regular updates on their child’s progress, activities, and any milestones they may reach while at daycare. Your child’s well-being and happiness are our top priorities, and we take our role as caregivers very seriously.
