  • "We are so grateful to be part of the BFAC Community! Our 3 year old and 1 year old absolutely adore the teachers and staff! The communication from both the admin and teachers has been exceptional. Between the monthly progress reports, weekly activity goals, and daily photos sent to parents through their app, of all the fun daily activities, we really feel like BFAC is an extension of our family. Courtney has gone above and beyond with our 3 year old who had a tough transition being away from home. BFAC is a very special place and we are so thankful for the entire staff."

    -Aly F.

  • “We’re so grateful a place like BFAC exists. Their dedication to provide quality care while prioritizing learning and development activities with a safe environment will keep us here. They make everything so easy as parents from an operational perspective too. Our daughter is so excited at drop off everyday because she loves seeing her teachers and spending time with them. They treat her like she’s a part of the family and nothing warms my heart more knowing she is so happy to hangout with them all day. In addition, their kitchen team makes the most delicious & healthy food. We couldn’t recommend BFAC enough!”

    -Sigrid T.

  • “I am so grateful our friends recommended BFA Clintonville to us. It is a really special place and community. From the first day our daughter started daycare, I knew she was in the best hands. The teachers and staff have all been so attentive and loving, it’s so apparent how invested they are in her. There’s nothing more a mom could ask for than teachers who truly care about her child’s wellbeing. It’s a special place, and I am endlessly thankful we found it!”

    -Julie O.

  • “BFA Clintonville has been fantastic. The staff are great, very well supported, trained and educated. They really helped our kids develop from infants to toddlers and ultimately prepared them to be successful in grade school. The curriculum is thoughtful, the food is healthy. The most important thing is that they care, you can tell the staff care about our kids and are passionate about their work.”

    -Greg S.

  • “BFAC has been a safe and nurturing environment for my kids, with a focus on community, education, and a balanced lifestyle. They consistently grow and change to meet the needs of the families who come here. Some things I especially like: unique curriculum from the teachers who adapt to meet my children where they are developmentally, healthy and delicious meals during the day and to take home for the family, and the level of communication BFAC provides helps me know how my kids are growing.”

    -Kiley M.

Meet the Owners at BFAC

We are Courtney and Rob Lewis, the proud owners of Balanced Family Academy of Clintonville. We have had the opportunity to be part of this organization since the beginning, first as parents when they opened in 2014, and now as owners!  We grew to live and love the brand and decided to both leave our corporate careers to become one of the first franchisees. In January 2020 we opened our doors and have been loving it ever since. Our favorite part is the community we have built and welcomed here at BFAC. We absolutely love our community and are honored that we have the ability to support the growth and development of each child in our care and partner with the parents through the child's early years. We believe strongly in community and couldn’t be more thankful for the one we have here in Clintonville!
