The Upper Arlington
Childcare Campus
Conveniently located between Bethel and Reed Road, just steps from Northcrest Park, our Upper Arlington campus is the site of our first-ever school. Since its founding in 2014, our campus has grown to accommodate four daycare and early learning academies. Our UA campus provides exceptional care and education for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, as well as school-age students.
More Than Daycare:
Supporting UA Families
Enjoy peace of mind knowing your child is well-nourished and cared for with three daily meals, diapers, wipes, and in-house laundry service. We provide three meals a day: a morning snack at 8:30 am, lunch at 11:30 am, and an afternoon snack at 3:30 pm. Our Upper Arlington campus also provides regular weekly extra curricular activities for it’s students, including Jump Bunch, music class, and Balanced by Nature with Mr. Jared. All of these convenient perks are built right into your tuition.
Our families have the opportunity to order a variety of nutritious take home meals from Alchemy Meal Prep, conveniently delivered right to their child’s school on a weekly basis. Our Upper Arlington schools also host regular parent’s night out events, as well as community gatherings throughout the year for families to meet and build connections.

We take an intentional approach to Kindergarten Readiness that values authentic learning opportunities for our students. Preparing our children for kindergarten is one of the leading goals at BFA, and our curriculum reflects this. We align our teaching to the Ohio Early Learning standards, following the prioritized ELA and Math standards utilized by Upper Arlington School District. Parents gain regular insight to their child’s development, though progress summaries highlighting key skills each month. In addition, we also complete quarterly assessments to ensure each child is receiving the individualized support they need to thrive.
