Little Munchkin Daycare

My son has been at the Granville location since he was 10.5 months old and is currently almost 3. The staff are fantastic and truly care about the children. They get two snacks a day, playtime outside and come home with crafts they have done regularly. My son has learned so much from the teachers Julia and Ahra and loves playing with the other children. I feel very fortunate that our son has been able to attend this daycare and would highly recommend it to other parents.

Fantastic centre! All teachers are extremely caring and nice; they are very supportive to parents and loving to children. The supervisor of the centre, Mohammad, is amazing - extraordinarily helpful, understanding, and professional. I'd highly recommend this centre to kids of all ages: they will have a blast, learn and feel being part of a great family!

My son attended Little Munchkin from 18 months to 3 years old and it was a really great experience. The staff were skilled and caring during his transition into daycare. They provided a nurturing and fun environment with daily art, books, music, free play and outside time. The ECEs went above and beyond to provide an amazing experience and we will never forget our time there! The daily communication is exceptional as they use an app to track everything. Thank you Little Munchkin!

My son went here (29/oak) from 13 months and we were so happy with the care. It was professional, clean and he seemed to really enjoy it. The staff were lovely and I believe really care about the children. He always came home with art and they even had an app they’d often add photos through the day which was so nice. In the nice weather is usually find them playing outside at pickup time. He had friends there and was learning songs and it was just so nice to take him somewhere I felt safe leaving him. Thank you Little Munchkin we’ll miss you!!

Little Munchkin was our first ever daycare experience. We had excellent communication from the program coordinator and contact with the floor manager before our in-person visit. The administrative staff at Little Munchkin have been very helpful and quick to respond to any questions.Our child started at Holland Street centre and moved to Granville centre for a full-time position. The staff at both centres have been incredible. They are so kind, friendly and caring to us and our child. We drop off our child at the front door and they run into daycare, excited to see the educators and their friends. It has been such a relief to see how much our baby loves attending Little Munchkin.We receive photos daily of what our baby has been up to and the staff send us any messages if they need to. Communication is fast and easy on their phone app.We're sad to be leaving our friends at LM! Thank you to the entire team for our wonderful experience.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to have our daughter in Little Munchkins daycare. The homes are very nice and comfortable for the kids. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring. Our daughter had a great time there, and we appreciated their willingness to help us out when we needed an extra day here and there. They are very helpful and professional. I highly recommend their facilities.

My daughter attended Little Munchkin for a total of 1 year (started at Oak & 29th then moved to South Granville) before she had to move to preschool. She thoroughly enjoyed her time there and made many friends. The teachers there are very attentive and really helped her grow. I especially liked the fact that they upload pictures of your child everyday so you know what they're doing, and upon pickup they give you a daily report on what they've done (how much they ate, how long they slept, when they last went to potty). This is a very well run organization and I would highly recommend this care facility to any parent who's looking for a place for their child. Keep up the good work Little Munchkin!

Our child has been in little munchkin for around 2 years and it was the best experience as a parent and a child. Our kid was very happy to get ready for the daycare every morning! She learnt a lot through the wide variety of activities and events. The daycare teachers and the admin were friendly, responsive and helpful. Highly recommended and were flexible with our multiple requests as well!Thanks again little munchkin!

It's our last week at Little Munchkin, and we are sad to leave! My son has been at the 52nd & Granville location for almost two years. It's his second home where he plays and laughs and learns, and the staff are like family to us. We have nothing but good reviews. Get the spot if you're offered; it's a wonderful place to send your child.Best: So many things! Life at Little Munchkin is more than peace of mind for us. The teachers really get to know their kids individually and care about them!Worst: They have two 1-week closures, one in summer and one after New Year's - so staff can have a break too. Plenty of notice though, and stays open between Christmas and New Year's.Specifics:Waitlist/registration: We were waitlisted for a dozen daycares around town and Mohammad was the only person who got back to us before my mat leave ended. Part-time spot turned full-time at the same location, even through covid. Mohammad actually cares about the families, unlike some other places that act like they don't need your business.COVID: Centre never closed due to covid but reduced staffing due to fewer kids. We were lucky enough to stay in the same location. Health protocols are in place and updated regularly, emailed out to parents with reminders in app. Manager is reasonable at enforcing policies, friendly but firm, just what you want in a toddler care provider. Policies were sometimes unclear but we just asked to clarify, and remembered that safety is first and respect goes both ways.Location: House on a residential street, fully fenced backyard with several playhouses, pirate ship, slides, etc. Nap room separate. Teachers stay with children in room. Main floor is infant program (8) and basement for toddlers (8).Schedule: Infant group is somewhat flexible to the child for nap time and helped my son transition and build a regular schedule. Toddler group has daily outdoor play in the morning and two-hour nap/quiet time 1 to 3. Opens between 8 and 5:30, though most kids are gone by 5pm these days.Food: Centre provides snacks AM, PM; bring your own lunch which can be heated up.Activities: My son has so much fun! Monthly themes, arts, crafts, sensory play, story time, songs, outdoor play, water play on hot days, and actual learning (days of the week, games with alphabet, planets, etc.). Also practice safety drills regularly.Staff: Teachers are caring and kind, and obviously love working with children. Our son even learned a few words of Korean and Mandarin. ECEcertified (see activities), professional and reliable. At pick-up, teachers also tells us of any behaviour issues, health problems, or just fun moments in the day.Communication with family: App that notifies check-in/out, food, potty, nap; daily photos of playtime, birthdays; reminder for closures, etc. The 10:30 photo drop is the highlight of my day!Potty training: It's the parents' job but staff will support once the child is reliable enough to not have frequent accidents. We sent our son in pull-ups with prompts for potty until teachers told us he can be in training pants.Finally, a great big hug to all the teachers we've ever had at Little Munchkin! Thank you, Emily, Yuka, and Nicole for making it easy to leave my little guy and go back to work with peace of mind! Thank you to Julia, Ahra, Hannah, and Seul, for a happy toddlerhood and so much love!

We had a great experience with Little Munchkin, South Granville! Our daughter absolutely loved going to daycare each day and the teachers were so unbelievably caring. She learned a lot and also made wonderful friends… we will definitely miss it!
