Little Explorers’ Christian Academy (Infants–5th Grade) is on track to be accredited through ICAA and eligible to accept the new Texas private school vouchers (Education Savings Accounts) beginning with the 2026–2027 school year for Pre‑K–5th
Families who qualify may receive around $10,000 per child in state funds that can be used toward private school tuition—potentially reducing your out‑of‑pocket cost to zero for K–5th if approved.
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.
