Great news for families! Little Explorers’ Christian Academy (Infants–5th Grade) is now Accredited by ICAA, Recognized by NAEYC, and a 4‑Star Texas Rising Star School—a reflection of our commitment to excellence in early childhood and elementary education.
We’re also preparing to participate in Texas’ new Education Savings Account (private school voucher) program beginning with the 2026–2027 school year for PRE‑K–5th Grade.
Families who qualify may receive around $10,500 per child in state funds to use toward private school tuition—potentially covering the full cost of PRE-K–5th Grade!
Now is the perfect time to schedule a tour or register early to secure your child’s spot at one of the region’s top-rated Christian academies!
Parents are asking: “How will the new Texas school vouchers work?”
Little Explorers’ Christian Academy is preparing now to accept these funds for Pre‑K–5th grade students in the 2026–2027 school year, so your child can attend a Christ‑centered private school with little or no tuition if your family qualifies.
“We wanted a school that shared our values and could give our child more individual attention. When we learned we could use the new Texas voucher to cover most of our tuition, the decision was easy.”
– LECA parent
If you’ve been considering a Christian private school but worried about the cost, this is your moment. The new Texas voucher program will allow many families to use state funds—around $10,000 per year per child—to pay private school tuition starting in 2026–2027.
Little Explorers Academy pairs TEFA voucher access with nationally recognized, top-tier accreditations to provide families with an exceptional early learning experience.
Little Explorers Academy is thrilled to participate in the new Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program, designed to expand options – School Choice - and open more doors for Texas families. Our school holds three powerful quality recognitions: NAEYC recognition for meeting rigorous national standards of early childhood excellence, ICAA foundation accreditation, and a 4‑Level Texas Rising Star rating – the highest quality level in the state’s system for childcare programs. All Texas children are eligible to apply for TEFA if they live in Texas and are U.S. citizens or lawfully admitted to the U.S., meaning your child can qualify regardless of income or school district.
Families can feel confident that when they use a TEFA voucher at Little Explorers Academy, their child is learning in a high-quality, research‑based, and nurturing environment recognized for going above and beyond the minimum standards of Texas education.
Beginning February 4, 2026 - 9:00 am, parents can submit a TEFA application for children who turn 3 years old on or before September 1, 2026, and older. Little Explorers Academy is one of only a few schools in our area currently accepting TEFA vouchers, giving your family a rare opportunity to access a high-quality early childhood program with powerful state financial support that covers full tuition.
*SPOTS WILL BE LIMITED *when TEFA applications open from February 4 through March 17, 2026, to keep our class sizes small.
Welcome to Little Explorers' Christian Academy! We're so glad you're here.
Nestled in NE Houston, Texas, our school and childcare center is a special place where infants through 5th Graders discover, learn, and grow. What makes us different? We see your child for who they truly are—a unique little person with their own personality, pace, and potential.
We know that no two children are alike. Some leap ahead, while others take their time—and that's perfectly wonderful!
Our caring team takes the time to understand what excites your child: their interests, strengths, and even the things they find challenging. Then we create experiences tailored just for them, helping them build confidence and reach for the stars in a nurturing space where they feel truly supported.
Every day at Little Explorers is designed around one simple belief: children flourish when they feel safe, loved, and free to be themselves. Through play, exploration, and plenty of warm interactions, we guide your child's development—physical, cognitive, emotional, and social. We stay in close touch with you, too, because you know your child best! Together, we create a complete circle of care that wraps around your little one.
When you walk through our doors, we want you to feel something special—that sense of comfort you get when you're somewhere you truly belong. Little Explorers isn't just a school; it's a home away from home where friendships bloom, laughter fills the halls, and every child knows they matter.
We'd be honored to be part of your family's journey. At Little Explorers' Christian Academy, we're not just preparing children for school—we're nurturing the foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, joy, and success.

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
