What is money, and why do we need it?
What’s the difference between a need and a want?
Why do people pay taxes and where does that money go?
What does it mean to borrow money, and how does interest work?
How do businesses make money, and what are costs and profits?
Who can I ask for help when it comes to money?

Kids are naturally curious about money—how it’s earned, what it’s worth, and how to use it. But while they’re asking smart questions, most financial education comes too late.
Finance Explorers gives students in grades 3–8 the chance to build strong money habits and confidence early on.
We create a supportive space where kids can explore, make mistakes, ask questions, and feel empowered about their financial future.
Each session is designed to be low-pressure and highly engaging, so kids feel safe asking questions, trying things out, and building real money skills that stick. Whether they’re planning a party on a budget or designing a mini business, students walk away with confidence and lifelong habits they’ll carry into the future.
Movement-based & hands- on activities
Reflective group discussions
Collaborative or competitive games
Kids might role-play running a store, plan a party with a budget, or pitch a mini business idea—all while learning real money concepts in a fun, low-pressure environment.
