Happy Parents in Harrison West

  • "BFA Harrison West has been the greatest decision for our two daughters. We had been enrolled in another well-established center, but high turnover and lackluster learning sent us looking elsewhere. BFA has been so positive! The growth in our 4 year old, including an opportunity for on-site Occupational Therapy, has prepared her for Kindergarten. We can’t say enough about BFA - it’s been so worth it!"

    -Sarah S.

  • "We have been with Balanced Family (formerly LDBB) Harrison West for 5 years! We have 2 children there, and are so happy with our decision to join this community. I am most impressed with how structured their days are, and how much they learn while they are there! Our son will be heading into kindergarten soon, and I am more than confident that he is prepared - both socially and academically. The teachers have all been wonderful and really take the time to get to know your child. I would definitely recommend BFA to anyone looking for childcare!"

    -Linda A.

  • "BFA has been excellent for our family for a variety of reasons. Our kiddo just completed his first year with BFA and I am amazed at all he has learned, and how much he understands. The activities and structure have exceeded our expectations and we are so grateful to the staff for their efforts. We are first time parents and BFA is teaching us too! Thank you BFA!"

    -Anna C.

  • "My child has been attending BFA for about 3 years now and we have had nothing but the best experience! The staff is very friendly, we get photos throughout the day, and communication is always wonderful. Thank you to everyone at BFA for taking such great care of our son!"

    -Aaron B.

  • "Such a wonderful place! My daughter attended BFA in Harrison West for almost 5 years and I would recommend to family and friends in a heartbeat. The staff was kind, dedicated, and positive and really became an extension of family for my girls. They were always very flexible with my ever changing schedule as well. Top notch!"
