Balanced Family Academy of Upper Arlington, Columbus | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Balanced Family Academy is the gold standard for childcare! I’ve been sending my two boys to BFA since 2015 when BFA was just getting started. From the beginning, it was clear that BFA was raising the bar for daycares. They truly have the whole family in mind in all of their practices so that we, as working parents, can find some balance in our lives knowing that our children are well cared for.

The facilities are impeccable – clean, well maintained and beautifully designed. They provide wholesome food (sometimes organic) plus diapers and wipes, so that I could just take my child and not have to worry about packing food or supplies.

The staff truly care for the children – BFA has great long-standing staff members that create real relationships with the kids. And they do a good job of promoting and retaining their high-quality employees for years. We’ve been fortunate to have Miss Leah and Mr. Joe in both of my boys’ lives – starting as teachers and now in director roles! I’m grateful for their constant smiles, the love they’ve shown for my kids and their support throughout the years.

All of the extras – they do a great job at offering services for parents (take-home meals, adult exercise classes, kids night out) and special events for the children (Farm animals visiting the school, special performances, Bubble day!)

BFA has grown and evolved greatly since we first started going there. But despite the growth, the owners have worked hard to maintain standards and stay true to their core values.

Thank you, BFA, for being a critical part of our “village” throughout the last decade.

We started our daughter at BFA at 7 months after 4 months of care at other facilities that simply did not meet our standards. Since then our daughter is thriving in every aspect. She has such caring teachers that regularly let us know how much they love her. Our family is bilingual and her teachers ask us for words she says so they can learn along with her and reinforce our bilingual teachings. She’s only 2.5 and they go so above and beyond our expectations. Being working parents is tough, but knowing your baby is loved this way is simply amazing. We plan to stay here until we no longer can and I am sure that day will be a sad one.
