Make room to learn.

Baccare is a pre-K–8 learning enrichment platform for Texas families. From kindergarten through 8th grade, every activity, printable, and hint is anchored to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), the standards the Texas Education Agency sets for every public school classroom. Pre-K practice, for 4-year-olds, follows the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines (2022), also from the Texas Education Agency. When a teacher says "we're doing fractions this week," Baccare turns that into the right ten minutes of practice at your kitchen table.

The name comes from an old English word meaning "stand back, make room." That is the job of a good helper: make room for the child to do the thinking.

What we believe about AI and kids

Ask Bacc, our homework helper, runs on Claude, an AI model from Anthropic. We use it deliberately and narrowly. The manifesto that guides Brigade Management's work with AI says it plainly: use AI to expand human capability, not to replace the human doing the work. For a nine-year-old, "the work" is the struggle of figuring something out. An AI that hands over answers steals that struggle and the learning that comes with it.

Hints before answersBacc asks a guiding question or shows a similar example first. It will not write your child's essay or finish a graded assignment.
Parents see everythingChildren never have accounts. You can read every Bacc conversation, child by child, on the Ask Bacc conversations page, and anything off-limits is flagged for you.
Standards, not guessesContent is written to specific TEKS student expectations, or for pre-K to Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines outcomes, and cites them. The curriculum page shows exactly what is covered and what is not yet.
Kids verify, question, and thinkFeedback explains why an answer is right or wrong. The goal is a child who can check an answer, including an AI's, not one who trusts a screen.

Who makes Baccare

Baccare is a product of Brigade Management, Inc., a Texas company. We hold it to the standard we would want for our own children: every standard it cites is real, every Bacc conversation is visible to a parent, and no child ever has an account.
