  • I now have two grandchildren attending Little Bird. So lucky. Our grandkids are made to feel so special every day by the entire staff, as is every little bird that enters the building. At first I thought the staff had a sweet spot for our family, but when we routinely pick up our grandkids, I see the staff make every family feel this way. As a retird educator, I am impressed with the freedom students have to explore and learn in a physically and emotionally-safe environment. Thank you Little Bird!

  • I cannot say enough positive things about Little Bird. This place is filled with the most passionate and energetic staff who provide such incredible care. I have heard and experienced horror stories about other places - so I feel so lucky to send both of my children (baby and 3 year old) to a place I know they are so loved. The teachers who care for them are some of the best people I have ever met. My 2 kiddos are absolutely thriving because of Little Bird and the staff that goes above and beyond every day!

  • We could not be happier with our daughter’s daycare. The staff is incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. It’s clear that this is more than just a job for them—they truly love what they do.The teachers take the time to understand each child’s personality, communicate thoughtfully with families, and create a nurturing, positive environment. We are so grateful for the kindness, dedication, and warmth they show every single day. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a place where their child will be truly cared for.

  • We’ve had a wonderful experience with this daycare. The clean classrooms and well-maintained facility immediately stood out, and the teachers are truly fantastic—caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids. Knowing our child is in such a safe, nurturing environment gives us real peace of mind every day. We’re so grateful for the great team and highly recommend this daycare to other families

  • Our son has attended Little Bird for the past year and a half, since he was in the infant room, and we could not be happier with our experience. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and loving, and meet each child exactly where they are developmentally. They are always engaging the children in enriching, hands-on activities that are seasonal, festive, and thoughtfully planned. Little Bird is clean, safe, and very well run. Communication is excellent, and the staff have made a real effort to know our family. Each time our son has moved up to a new classroom, the teachers have taken the time to ensure we feel comfortable, supported, and confident during the transition. They are also proactive in guiding us with helpful information about his changing needs, and schedule, which we appreciate and rely on! One thing that stood out to us early on is how much the administration prioritizes the wellbeing of their staff, both personally and professionally. It’s clear that teachers feel supported and valued, resulting in a really positive atmosphere and very little turnover since we joined the community. This was something we paid close attention to when touring daycare facilities, and Little Bird has exceeded our expectations. We receive frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout the day, and it’s so reassuring to see how happy and confident our son is there. We feel incredibly grateful to be part of the Little Bird community and wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for exceptional childcare.

Questions parents ask about LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL

Is LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL holds Pennsylvania certificate 104104122-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Montgomery County. The current certificate runs to August 15, 2026. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on September 29, 2023. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL at the time the record was published. That is a single field in a snapshot, not a full compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. The licensing inspection detail is at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch.

Does LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL accept child care subsidy?

Yes. LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL holds a subsidy agreement with the state. An agreement means the provider can bill the subsidy programme, not that a funded place is free today. Eligibility is decided by your Early Learning Resource Center, Early Learning Resource Center for Region 17.

Does this page show inspection results for LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL?

No. Pennsylvania completes at least one unannounced inspection a year at every licensed provider, and publishes the results through the provider search at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch. Those results are not included here, and there is no open dataset of them, so nothing on this page reflects LITTLE BIRD NURSERY & PRESCHOOL's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
