Meet the Balanced Family Academy of Dublin Owners

As busy working parents ourselves, we recognize the balancing act that comes with raising children and managing a career. This firsthand experience shapes our approach to child care – ensuring that every child receives the attention, support, and encouragement they need to thrive! Our Academies are designed to foster growth, creativity, and a love for learning in an environment that mirrors the energy and excitement of our own families. We know the challenges of balancing work and life and know what you need from your child care provider in order to be personally and professionally successful! 

We are proud to be active members of the Dublin and Powell communities, where we are deeply committed to philanthropy and building strong, supportive partnerships with parents. By engaging in local initiatives and charitable activities, we strive to give back to the community that has supported us and to instill in our children the values of kindness and generosity.

We value open communication and invite you to participate in your child's educational journey with us. Your trust means everything to us, and we strive to exceed your expectations every day!

We invite you to experience the BFA Difference firsthand. Let's create a bright future together for your child!
