Real Reviews from Hilliard Parents

  • “The staff is incredibly attentive, thoughtful and caring. We've had such a wonderful experience! It gives us such a peace of mind to send our child to a place where everyone deeply values safety, development, and fun. The building is very clean and there are no "daycare" smells. We toured a lot of places around town and BFA was far and away the best option."

    -Carly H.

  • “The staff at BFA has been great since we started taking our son in October! They are very attentive to his needs and keep us updated throughout the day with pretty much everything that is going on with him. He seems to enjoy the daycare staff and they always take good care of him."

    -Kelli H.

  • “We have had our children attending BFA Hilliard for years from infant through school age classes and have always felt very comfortable with the staff and the level of attention our children have gotten. I’ve noticed significant improvement across the board with care since the former Sunny Day Academy changed hands. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for care for their little ones!"

    -Brad K.

  • “Balanced Family Academy has become our home away from home with our family. Being able to know that our son is treated with the utmost respect, care, and love is all we can ask for and more. It's a healthy environment, loving atmosphere, family oriented center. The staff are great and so welcoming. I've always felt that my son is happy and safe extremely ,amazing staff members ,i want to say thank you for the owners, thank you teachers , thank you administrators We LOVE you BFA!!"

    -Meriem D.

  • "Our daughter has been attending BFA Hilliard (formerly Sunny Day Academy) for the last 2 years after we had a very poor experience with Enchanted Care. The BFA staff and teachers are AMAZING and truly care about the kids which is exactly what our daughter needed to feel good about learning. The staff even spends their personal time to create special activities that make our daughter’s experience extra special. The recent BFA upgrades to the Sunny Day facility have been a huge improvement and made a good experience even better. We’ve also noticed a positive change in the curriculum which seems more structured and engaging. The BFA team has worked hard to build a premium brand that shines even brighter than a sunny day (Insert dad pun here) and we alway drop our child off knowing she’s in the best hands."
