    If you truly care about your child, do not send them here by any means. The school claims to be…read moreprofessional and well-structured, but that image is extremely misleading. While they advertise themselves as a full Islamic school, the reality is very different. The school is far too expensive for what it actually offers. In the middle school and high school buildings, the only subjects that seem to be taken seriously are Arabic and math. In Quran class, students are simply handed a Quran and are expected to already know how to read and memorize it, with little to no proper instruction or support. New students are not treated well, and there is little effort made to help them adjust or feel welcomed. This is not the Islamic learning environment they promote. Everything costs extra, the expectations are unreasonable, and the overall atmosphere can be emotionally draining. In general, the middle and high school environment can completely destroy a child's motivation and love for learning. It is not a healthy place for students during such important developmental years. That being said, the elementary school is a completely different story. The elementary program is actually excellent. They teach Quran reading properly, Arabic writing, and Islamic studies in a structured and supportive way. The environment is kind, safe, and nurturing, which is exactly what young children need. Teachers are more patient, and students are encouraged rather than pressured. I would strongly recommend this school only for elementary-aged children. However, the same recommendation does not apply to the middle or high school. Parents should seriously reconsider enrolling their older children here, as the quality of education and student care drops significantly after elementary school.

    Teaching Tree has been an amazing place for our 3 children to learn and grow! Their teachers are so…read morecaring and personalized. Their curriculum is solid and educational with a strong emphasis on social emotional development. Their meals are all provided and are healthy fresh and mostly organic. They provide diapers wipes etc so you can just drop off quick and get on your way to work. They've been incredible and flexible. Highly recommend!!!!

    We have had our three kids at the Teaching Tree since July of last year. We literally couldn't be…read morehappier with the care and love each of them has received. Our oldest is in the before and after school program (as well as the school-age summer program) and our two younger children are in the pre-school range. All three kids love going each day. In fact, during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been SO sad that they haven't been able to see their friends and teachers. Not only do the kids have fun and love to go, but the curriculum at Teaching Tree is also top-notch. As an educator myself, it is easy to tell when childcare centers "fake" the curriculum to make it easy on themselves and their teachers. This isn't the case at Teaching Tree! I recommend the Teaching Tree without reservations to any and all in the Dublin/Powell/Delaware area. In fact, they may be worth a further drive than that! We are all looking forward to when the virus is more under control and the kids can get back to the Teaching Tree!

    This child care facility is FANTASTIC!!! I transferred my son to this center this month and I…read morecouldn't be happier. He had been attending another area center and I guess I was used to the way they operated, but I kept getting the feeling that it just wasn't good enough. The administrator was not very personable (actually downright rude) and the teachers seemed lazy, inexperienced and lacked confidence...definitely not the type of environment I wanted my son to spend 8 hours a day in. I started looking into other options and nothing seemed any better. Then I stumbled on Balanced Family Academy. WOW!!!! From the minute I called them I was excited about this place. I visited the center a few times before deciding to move him. I was nervous about him transitioning into a new place and I figured it would take him a few weeks to adjust. Well...I was wrong. He LOVES this center and loves his teachers. It's amazing how well kids do when they are in a place where people are happy to be there, excited about teaching, and truly seem to enjoy their jobs! There are so many "perks" that this center offers (too many to list), but the most important thing to me is how my son acts when we walk in the door each morning. The owners and teachers are wonderful and my husband and I are thrilled we made the decision to enroll him in Balanced Family Academy.

    The outside doors to the rooms with the children are just unlocked? Let me make it clear- I don't…read morehave a child that attends here. I came here to deliver an Instacart order to a staff member. I followed the instructions provided to go to a different door for a walk-in fridge and not go to the front door. I accidentally opened TWO incorrect doors while looking for the one with the fridge. Both of them were unlocked, opened without any effort. One of them giving access to the "gym" and the other to a classroom full of children sitting. Unlocked. If you do bring your kids here, please ask some questions and get this policy changed. Seems quite unsafe and unmonitored to me.
