How the funding fits
Every Arizona student from kindergarten through 12th grade can open an Empowerment Scholarship Account. The latest ADE chart, labeled 2025-26 (ADE estimate; the 2026-27 chart isn't posted yet), puts the range for the grades Casita Daycare & Preschool serves at $7,105–$10,540; where a student lands depends on grade and the public school they would otherwise attend. A qualified private school is paid from the account once it is set up as a ClassWallet vendor, and because the state keeps no list of those schools, ask Casita Daycare & Preschool directly before you count on it.
Casita Daycare & Preschool did not turn up on any School Tuition Organization list we matched in Oct 2026. Lists change and our match left out some STOs, so ask the school which ones its families use.
Independent schools in Tucson set their own aid budgets, which are often the biggest lever for families whose tuition sits above the ESA range.
