Munchkinland cares for up to 14 Munchkins at a time, 2 years old and over. On occasion we might have a spot or two for an 18 month old :)
Our hours are 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday.
We are a year-round private preschool/ family daycare and we are closed during all major holidays.
From time to time after hours care can be provided, including overnight care, with prearranged dates and times.
Drop in service, short term care, long term care are all at times possible. For specifics please contact 415.386.2006
How Long is the Preschool and Family Relationship?
It very much varies on your needs, wants, and circumstances. Sometimes it ranges from a few hours, if you are using the drop in service-to what is generally the case of several years- until your Munchkin is ready to Graduate and move on to Kindergarten. Our friendship though, lasts a lifetime :)
What you get...
What we get...
As parents-- or the village (let's face it, it takes a village)-- raising your Muchkin(s), you want to be fully comfortable and confident with the care your child is receiving. I strongly encourage you to meet with us and several other daycare providers to find the best fit for you and your child(ren) as he or she will spend 10+ hours every day in the daycare environment. If you feel that Munchkinland is not the place for your Munchkin, I will provide alternative referrals, because ultimately I want to do what’s in the best interest of your Munchkin(s). Click here for some helpful hints on what to look for when exploring daycare possibilities. But most importantly follow your parental instinct!
Our Sample Daily Schedule
*This schedule is merely a guideline for our day; actual times and activities often vary in response to the children’s needs and interests.
8:00-8:30: Arrival
During parental check-in, as you walk your Munchkin in, please let us know anything you think is worth mentioning to make the day great (i.e., woke up from a nightmare-- anything we can help with)
At this time, our Munchkins will be washing their hands and brushing their teeth, free-playing or working on a project of their choice (play-dough or other toys or games)
8:30 – 9:00: Breakfast
9:30 – 10:00: Morning music exercises

Transition to indoors – children begin getting picked up and reunited with family members who missed them so much.
Kids usually share everything that they did at daycare that day, and we encourage you to ask every day.
This also might be the time to ask your child if there is anything special for tomorrow, especially if you see a note on the parent communication board (for example, wear jeans and bring a bandana, we will have cowboy and cowgirl day, etc.)
