Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA): Making Private Pre-K Possible in Kerrville

Feb 6, 2026

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.

What Is TEFA?

TEFA is a new statewide initiative created by the Texas Legislature to expand school choice. It provides families with flexible education savings accounts to pay for approved services like:

  • Private school tuition
  • Homeschool curriculum

Key Highlights:
