Edutainment is a TEFA-Approved Provider. Confirm Your School by July 15.

TEFA award notifications have been sent. If your family applied for a Texas Education Freedom Account, your first step is to log in to your Odyssey Parent Portal to check your award status. You'll see whether you've been awarded funds or placed on the waitlist.

If you were awarded, you must confirm a school by July 15, 2026. Once that deadline passes, unconfirmed funds may be lost.

The Edutainment Zone is an approved TEFA provider.

We're a Cognia-accredited, Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool in the Rio Grande Valley, and one of only two nationally accredited early childhood programs in the RGV. We're currently enrolling TEFA families for Pre-K 3, Pre-K 4, and Kindergarten.
