Questions parents ask

FAQ

Is Baccare approved by the Texas Education Agency?

No, and no supplemental product is. Baccare aligns its kindergarten through 8th grade activities to the TEKS and its pre-K activities to the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines, both published by TEA, and cites the exact expectation or outcome for each one. Baccare is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by TEA.

Which grades and subjects are covered?

Pre-K through 8th grade in reading and writing, math, science, and social studies, plus beginning Spanish from kindergarten up. The curriculum page lists every TEKS expectation for a grade, or every Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines outcome for pre-K, and shows which ones have activities today. New activities ship every week, and uncovered expectations are our to-do list.

Is there practice for pre-K?

Yes, for 4-year-olds. Questions are read aloud, answers are pictures to tap, sessions are short, and there is no clock. Pre-K covers early reading and writing, math, science, and social studies, and follows the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines (2022) from TEA. There is no skills check for pre-K yet. Ask Bacc works for pre-K too, in very short, simple sentences, with a grown-up beside your child to read its replies aloud and type. Try it on the courses page or in Learn.

Does my child need an account?

No. Children never have accounts. A parent creates one family account and adds each learner with a first name and grade. Practice results, and anything the family adds for a child, stay on the parent's account.

What is Ask Bacc, and is it safe?

Bacc is an AI homework helper powered by Claude. It is locked to school subjects from pre-K through 8th grade, gives hints rather than answers, never asks for personal information, never role-plays, and tells children to talk to a trusted adult if something seems wrong. Every message is screened before and after the AI sees it, and you can read every conversation on the Ask Bacc conversations page. See the Safety page for the details.

Will Bacc do my child's homework?

It will not. Bacc is instructed to coach: ask a guiding question, show a similar worked example, and let the child try. It gives a final answer only after the child has attempted the problem, or when a parent asks directly.

What does it cost?

Every new family starts with a free trial of the Family plan: 14 days free, then $14.99 a month or $119 a year. Card at sign-up, with a $1 parent-verification charge that comes off your first bill; cancel before day 15 and you pay only that $1. The Family plan covers up to three learners, with every activity, 40 Bacc messages a day per learner, Notes Studio, printables, and assignments. Each additional learner is $3 a month ($30 a year). The Free Play games and the Learn previews stay free, with no account.

Do I need a card for the trial?

Yes. You add a card through Stripe when you start the trial. The only charge then is $1, which verifies that you are a parent (a children's privacy rule) and comes off your first bill. Cancel in Billing before day 15 and you pay only that $1. One trial per family.

What if we use up Ask Bacc or Notes Studio?

Family includes a monthly allowance the whole household shares: 400 Ask Bacc messages and 20 Notes Studio makes (250 and 12 on the yearly plan; a Go deeper pack uses 3 makes), plus the daily limit of 40 Bacc messages and 5 Notes Studio jobs per learner. The trial includes 50 messages and 3 makes. If you need more in a busy month, an extra pack is $4.99 for 120 Bacc messages and 6 makes, or $9.99 for 260 messages and 13 makes. Packs are used only after the monthly allowance runs out, and they never expire. Plan & billing in your dashboard shows what is left, and we email you when your family has used 80% of the month's amount.

Can I use Baccare for homeschool?

Yes. Many homeschool families use the TEKS as their scope and sequence. Assign activities, print study notes, and track mastery by strand in the parent dashboard.

Can I use it without signing in?

Yes. Every activity in Learn is playable without an account. Sign in to save progress, assign work, and use Ask Bacc.

How do I cancel?

In your dashboard, open Plan & billing and choose Manage subscription. That opens the Stripe billing portal, where you cancel. Cancel during the 14-day trial and you are never charged. After that, your access continues through the end of the period you paid for.
