Levy Christian Kindergarten, North Little Rock: EFA, Enrollment & Funding

Where these numbers come from. EFA enrollment, retention, spending and test percentiles are from the 2024-25 Arkansas Education Freedom Accounts Program Annual Report (Arkansas Department of Education with the University of Arkansas Department of Education Reform, October 2025). Enrollment, teachers, grades and affiliation are from the U.S. Department of Education, NCES Private School Survey (2023-24 public-use file; 2021-22 where a school did not respond in 2023-24). Tuition is not reported to either, so confirm it with the school.

Students (federal survey, 2021-22)

Levy Christian Kindergarten was not on the state's 2024-25 list of EFA participating schools, and it is not on the current list either. Schools can apply to participate each year, so ask whether it has applied. Until it does, an Education Freedom Account can't pay its tuition, though a homeschool or hybrid family may still use the account for other approved expenses.

In the federal Private School Survey (2021-22), the school reported 7 students, 2 full-time-equivalent teachers and a student-teacher ratio of about 3.5:1. It lists memberships in Montessori association.

From kindergarten through grade 1, that's 2 school years. At the 2026-27 amount, a child who uses an account every year here would bring about $14,416 in state funding over that span. The amount is set each year, so treat this as a planning number. Pre-K years are not covered; the account starts at kindergarten.

Paying the balance

Montessori programs often start before kindergarten. The EFA begins at kindergarten (age 5 by August 1), so pre-K years are paid privately or through other early-childhood aid.
