Ehryah and Rachel Carroll are the proud owners of Balanced Family Academy of Gahanna, but their journey began long before ownership. For nearly seven years, they have had the privilege of working alongside the founders of BFA, serving in many roles and growing deeply rooted in the heart of the brand.
Everything changed with the birth of their daughter, Lennon. Becoming parents gave them a new perspective on what truly matters—safe, nurturing, high-quality child care that feels like an extension of home. Through that lens, Balanced Family Academy stood out as the gold standard, not only in education, but in love, intention, and community.
Now, as owners, Ehryah and Rachel are honored to carry forward the support, values, and mission that define our brand. Their commitment is simple yet powerful: to uphold our trusted standards which create a warm, supportive environment where children thrive and families feel connected.
They bring their passion, experience, and the BFA mission to the families of Gahanna, and walk alongside each family as their children grow, learn, and flourish.
