About Us

Small enough to know every child by name

Little Nuggets Childcare is a family-owned home daycare in St. Francis, Minnesota, dedicated to providing the kind of attentive, individualized care that only a small setting can offer.

We believe young children thrive when they feel secure, respected, and free to explore. That's why we keep our groups intentionally small — so every child gets the attention they deserve, every day.

From the moment they walk through our door, your child becomes part of our family. We partner with parents to support early development through play, routine, and genuine connection.

Our Programs

Care tailored to each stage

Every age group receives developmentally appropriate activities designed to support growth, learning, and social skills.

Infants

A calm, responsive environment for our youngest children. Gentle routines, sensory exploration, and constant comfort help babies build trust and confidence in their world.

Toddlers

Big discoveries happen at this age. Our toddler program encourages exploration, language development, and early social skills through guided play and creative activities.

Preschool

Building the foundation for school readiness. Preschoolers engage in structured learning, imaginative play, and collaborative projects that nurture curiosity and independence.

Our Philosophy

Learning through play,
growing together

We follow a play-based approach to early childhood education. Children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and having fun — and we design every day around that principle.

Our environment is thoughtfully arranged to invite exploration. Indoors and out, children find materials that challenge them at their level and support their natural desire to make sense of the world.
