About Us
The main goal of Munchkin Manor is to provide a safe and loving home where children look forward to spending time. A value we strongly believe in is to give children lots of quality experiences in nature. We believe this is one of the key ingredients in helping children to develop physically, emotionally and socially. We keep our teacher to child ratios low, most days we have 2 teachers with a group of 8-9 students.
