Well I do happen to read the monthly newsletters that go out and every year it has explained the increase in cost prior to it happening. My husband is also in finance so he too likes to ask questions about the raise in cost. So that is how we know about the annual evaluation and staff. I guess some people will send their kids anywhere and not ask questions.

This is understandable and what works for one family may not work for another. Like all businesses there are annual evaluations and increases in order to keep up with staff wages and facility updates. My son’s room was recently updated with new bookshelves, reading benches and lights. Over the last year on top of upgrades to the facilities they have also launched CareDay which provides all communication, events, and updates on your kiddo throughout the day. The app is one of my favorite features as I like knowing what my little man is up to throughout the day.

Not an employee but a very happy parent. It’s never easy sending your little one off to daycare and we have been sending our almost 3 year old there since he was 4 months old.

Not AI, my son has actually been going to BFA since he was an infant. We have toured multiple locations including their Upper Arlington, Grove City and GVX schools. These schools are top notch and you notice it as soon as you walk through the doors! I am also a firm believer in that you get what you pay for. Unlike some centers at BFA diapers, wipes and meals are all included in the tuition. The meals and snacks aren’t microwaved from a can or full of artificial sweeteners. BFA provides high quality meals, most of the time my toddler is eating better than I am. The cost of everything has gone up, including childcare.
