KIDS COUNT® CURRICULUM

Kids Count® is an innovative educational program that assists teachers in educating their third- through fifth-grade students to understand concepts related to personal finances and realize the value of money. It is important that students learn good money management skills at an early age in order to build a foundation for achieving financial stability later in life. Students apply math, problem solving and reading skills they have learned in the classroom to fundamental real-world activities like creating a budget, earning, saving, and spending money.
