Frequently asked questions
What is an ESA (Education Savings Account)?
An ESA is a state-funded account that gives parents public education dollars to spend on approved educational expenses — including homeschool curriculum and materials — instead of, or in addition to, traditional public school.
Which states can use ClassWallet at Montessori & Me?
Right now we're approved as a ClassWallet vendor for Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program only. We're working on approval in additional states — if your state's ESA program also uses ClassWallet, let us know and we'll look into getting approved there too.
Can I use my ESA funds on any product in your store?
Most of our Montessori-inspired toys and learning materials qualify as educational expenses under Arizona's ESA program, but final approval depends on Arizona's program rules. Check your ClassWallet dashboard before purchasing if you're unsure.
Do I still pay sales tax or shipping with ClassWallet?
Your ClassWallet balance covers your order total the same way a card would, subject to your program's own funding rules.
