London, ON – Our Munchkin Childcare & STEM Preschool has officially opened its first location at 456 Southdale Rd E, bringing an innovative blend of early childhood education and hands-on STEM learning to families in the region. Since launching in February 2025, the licensed centre has already enrolled over 55 children and is quickly gaining recognition for its modern approach to childcare, blending nurturing care with a strong focus on science, technology, engineering, and math.
The centre has created over 10 new jobs in the community, including early childhood educators, a supervisor, and support roles. With a growing waitlist and strong parent engagement, the team is already laying the groundwork for future expansion.
“Our vision is to build a generation of confident, curious, and creative problem-solvers—starting right here in London,” said co-founders Shantanu and Nikhita Patil. “We’re proud to contribute to the city’s thriving education and innovation ecosystem and support local families with high-quality & family-centric care.”
Our Munchkin is excited to be part of London’s growing family services and innovation landscape, and looks forward to expanding its impact across Ontario.
