Little Mountain Movers - Faith based Enrichment Classes
Little Mountain Movers is a Christ-centered enrichment program where children don’t just learn—they discover who God created them to be. Through music, art, movement, hands-on enrichment, and engaging Bible lessons, we help children build confidence, creativity, character, and meaningful friendships in a joyful, encouraging environment. Every class is intentionally designed to inspire curiosity, strengthen faith, and create unforgettable learning experiences. We aren’t simply teaching music, art, and enrichment—we’re helping raise confident, compassionate children who know they are deeply loved by God and equipped to use their unique gifts to serve others. Each week is filled with worship, music, creative arts, movement, STEM and hands-on projects, themed enrichment activities, games, and interactive Bible lessons that bring God’s truth to life. We welcome children ages 4 and up from homeschool, private school, and traditional school families, and our small class sizes allow every child to be known, encouraged, and celebrated. Whether we’re creating, exploring, building, singing, or serving, children leave excited to come back, while parents appreciate the lasting character, confidence, and friendships their children develop along the way. Little Mountain Movers was founded by Jaime Lee Frank, an award-winning music educator, worship leader, and two-time Educator of the Year with more than 15 years of experience inspiring children through music, faith, and creative learning. Jaime Lee is passionate about creating a place where children feel seen, encouraged, and inspired to grow in both faith and creativity. Her mission is to provide families with a truly unique Christ-centered learning experience where every child can flourish academically, artistically, socially, and spiritually.

How Arizona ESA pays for art lessons
Private art lessons and homeschool art classes are commonly reimbursed enrichment expenses on the Arizona ESA. Teachers who are ClassWallet vendors invoice ClassWallet directly, ADE approves the expense, and funds transfer to the teacher. If a teacher isn't yet a ClassWallet vendor, families can often pay out of pocket and submit for reimbursement — confirm before committing. See the ESA guide and ClassWallet guide for step-by-step mechanics.
Group homeschool art classes vs. private lessons
Weekly group homeschool art classes (small groups, ages 7–17) are the most common format — students build a foundation across drawing, watercolor, and mixed media in a social studio environment. Private lessons are best for portfolio prep, focused instrument-of-medium work, or students who need a slower pace. Co-op-hosted art classes let a group of families bring an instructor to their location for a semester.
What to ask an art teacher before signing up
ClassWallet / ESA status — approved to invoice ClassWallet, or reimbursement only? Materials — included in tuition or purchased separately? Class structure — foundational skills (line, value, color, composition) or purely project-based? Age grouping — mixed-age or tight bands? Recitals / shows — end-of-semester exhibits are a nice sign of teacher investment. Faith alignment — if a Christian environment matters, ask directly.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Arizona ESA cover art lessons?
- Yes. Private art lessons and homeschool art classes are among the most commonly reimbursed enrichment expenses on the Arizona ESA. The teacher or studio typically needs to be a ClassWallet vendor for direct pay; otherwise families can request reimbursement.
- What's a good age to start art classes?
- Structured art instruction usually starts around age 6–7 once a child can sit for a 45–60 minute lesson. Younger children benefit from open-ended art play at home first.
- How much do art lessons cost in Arizona?
- Group homeschool art classes typically run $100–$175 per month for a weekly class. Private lessons range from $40–$80 per session depending on teacher experience and medium.
- Are art supplies covered by ESA?
- Consumable art supplies used in an ESA-approved class are often reimbursable when purchased through an approved vendor. Standalone art-supply reimbursement rules change, so check current ADE guidance before buying.
- Can an art teacher come to our co-op?
- Yes — many Arizona art teachers travel to co-ops and homeschool groups to teach on-site. Ask about minimum group size and travel fees.

Know the difference
Homeschooling and ESA-funded education are not the same thing
Under Arizona law these are two distinct pathways with different rules. We label every listing with the pathway it primarily serves so you know what you're signing up for.
Homeschooling (ARS §15-802)
Parent files an Affidavit of Intent. No public funds. Parent picks any curriculum and keeps full control. Co-ops, tutors, and enrichment are paid out of pocket.
ESA-funded education
Family signs the ESA contract and the affidavit is withdrawn. Quarterly funds flow through ClassWallet, expenses must fit ADE's allowable list, and receipts are required. Legally not homeschooling.
