I'm 20 weeks along and looking for day care in north Apple Valley, Eagan or NE Burnsville. I've looked at mnchildcare.org, but there are so many places listed on there, and it's a little overwhelming. No preference of in-home or center.
I've heard good things about the New Horizon on Pennock in Apple Valley, New Horizon on 35E and County Rd 11 and Goddard.
All centers, obviously. Just pick some, call and walk through them. They'll all give you the same answers (they are licensed and all comply with ratio, etc). You'll know whether you like the place or not when you walk through it.
New Horizon (and probably Goddard) is accredited for pre-K education so you don't have to worry about sending your child to a separate place for preschool. It is all done right there.

Here were our top choices in that area - YMCA Eagan, Goddard in AV, Knowledge Beginnings Eagan.
