We are Allison and Eric Brunner, and we're honored to bring Balanced Family Academy to Lewis Center.

Our younger daughter has been part of the BFA family since 2022, and watching her grow within that environment gave us a firsthand look at what truly exceptional early childhood care looks like — the culture, the individualized attention, the way BFA shows up for families. That experience is what convinced us BFA's approach was one worth investing in and building ourselves. It shapes everything about our vision for BFA Lewis Center: a place where your child is truly cared for and known, and where your family feels at home. Our goal is to give every child the attention, encouragement, and nurturing environment they need to thrive, while giving every parent the peace of mind to do the same.

Allison holds a Master's degree in School Psychology and has spent her career supporting children and families across school districts in Ohio, Texas, Oregon, and California. Eric brings a background in business, along with a career in professional soccer that instilled a deep appreciation for teamwork, community, and showing up for the people around you.

Together, we are passionate about early childhood education, entrepreneurship, and building something truly meaningful in Lewis Center. We are honored to be trusted with your child's early years and look forward to partnering with your family every step of the way.
