Check the vendor on the program's own approved list, confirm the listing date, and get invoices with your child's name. Arizona has no list, so receipts matter more.

A microschool is a small full-time school. A co-op is parent-run group learning. Homeschool means you direct it all. Funding treats each one differently.

ESA programs reimburse tuition, tutoring, curriculum, therapies and testing. Enrichment, devices and transport vary by program and need proof of learning benefit.
