It was tough choosing which daycare to send our child. I'm glad we landed on BFA Dublin. Walking in the door and admin always greets you with a smile. The teachers are so caring and attentive to each child's needs. As hard as it is to leave your child with someone else, it's comforting to know I'm leaving them with such capable teachers. With a chef on staff, I know my kid is getting balanced meals. They do creative activities with the students every day and encourage curiosity. I cannot thank them enough for the care they've put into every child.

Choosing a daycare as first time parents was intimidating and BFA came recommended by a friend. In only a few short months, we've seen how caring and attentive all of the staff are towards every child in their care. The teachers are knowledgeable and so helpful when addressing questions or concerns. We love seeing the status updates via their app throughout the day too!

My kids have gone here for years and I don't have enough great things to say! The teachers and staff are all incredibly kind and compassionate and work so hard. There is no better feeling than dropping off your children and not worrying for a single moment, because I know they are spending their day with the most incredible, caring teachers and staff.

Caitlin B. · Dublin Perimeter

The best thing we've done as parents is enroll our daughter at BFA. From the first moment we walked in the front door we were treated like family. The staff are nothing short of amazing and you can tell how much they care about all the kids and families that are lucky enough to go there. The part that amazes me the most is the time spent developing the curriculum. BFA is not a place where you just drop off your kiddo. BFA is a place where your kid learns and grows every single day. We highly recommend BFA to anyone looking for an excellent childcare situation.

I've had three boys go here and have had a terrific experience. Kind and accessible owners and engaged staff and management make for a well-structured program. The owl room in particular has been a central formative experience with my two older boys learning to read. My youngest is still there and everyone knows him by name and nickname.
