Team LB...
Each of our classrooms is led by at least two dedicated teachers who bring consistency, care, and expertise to your child’s day. We believe in the power of relationships and feel grateful to support your child as they learn and grow.
Beyond our core curriculum, children ages 1.5 and up enjoy weekly enrichment programs in physical education, art, natural science, and more—all tied to our current educational themes. We also welcome guest visitors such as our local librarian, emergency services crews (complete with their gear!), musicians, and community partners who help bring learning to life.
All Little Bird staff attend monthly in-service meetings and are encouraged and supported in ongoing professional development and safety training, ensuring our team is always growing right alongside your children.
Prior to start of employment, all staff members must present all clearances as mandated by the Department of Human Services including Pennsylvania Child Abuse History, Pennsylvania State Police Criminal History, National Sex Offenders Registry and FBI Criminal History.
Owner, Director
Meghan Link
Hi! I am Meghan, a local Wyndmoor Momma of two girls, and one chocolate labrador!
Prior to opening LB I co-owned a children’s mobile art education program, which spanned across the greater Philadelphia area, for over 12 years. This position, coupled with my Bachelor’s Degree from La Salle University, time spent working in a variety of roles associated with early childhood education and experience as a mama inspired me to develop a supportive and inclusive environment where every child, parent and staff member feels not only welcome but valued!
We believe it takes a village to raise a child and feel school should be a comfortable extension of home. We adore our families, treat these kiddos like they are our own and feel fortunate to be included in this very important time in their lives!
Outside of Little Bird, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family. You can often find us playing outside, relaxing at the beach, or cheering on the Phillies!

I’ve always been a maker at heart. Whether it’s crafting, creating hands-on activities, or tackling a DIY home project, I love working with my hands and bringing creativity into everyday life. That joy definitely finds its way into the classroom.
Community is incredibly important to me, and I’m grateful for the chance to be part of yours. I’m looking forward to getting to know your children and your family as we learn and grow together!

Alivia Klein
Hi, my name is Miss Liv! As the oldest sibling and cousin, caring for children has always come naturally to me. I’ve had experience working with many age groups, but 1–2 year olds are by far my favorite.
I truly love being part of this special stage of development and witnessing all the milestones and “firsts” that happen during these early years. Their curiosity, eagerness to learn, and growing independence make each day so rewarding.
I especially enjoy incorporating crafts and music into the classroom to encourage creativity, self-expression, and hands-on learning. I recently completed the esthetics program at Jean Madeline and am currently exploring pursuing a degree in early childhood education to continue growing in this field.
In my free time, I love all forms of art — especially painting — along with thrifting and caring for my little “zoo” of animals at home!

All of the teachers and staff are so nurturing and it was evident they make each kid feel loved there. I highly recommend Little Bird!"
