A New Opportunity for Kerrville Families
Every child deserves a strong start — and every parent deserves options. With the launch of the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA)program in 2026, Kerrville families will have access to new education funds to help cover private school tuition, including early education programs at Kerrville’s Bright Beginnings Learning Center.
This means your child can begin Pre-K in a nurturing, certified environment — without the financial stress.
