Growing Financially Savvy Kids: Fun and Educational Workshops!
Age Breakdown of Our Financial Literacy Workshops Tailored to Cognitive Levels
We use Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, which lays out three phases in childhood learning:
Pre-operational
(Ages 2 to 7)
Children begin using and understanding language, and experience the world mainly from a selfish point of view. They only connect with one feature of a situation or object at a time. They benefit from lessons that encourage them to move around, handle things, and classify items into groups.
Concrete Operational
(Ages 7 to 11)
Children begin to develop logical, concrete thinking patterns. They can start understanding mass and volume and can gain symbolic understanding of things, for example, the amount of money and purchasing power represented by a certain piece of currency.
Formal Operational
(Ages 11+)
After age 11, youth begin thinking about things on an abstract level, which means they can learn through group projects, games, case study illustrations, and brainstorming.
What we hope to acheive?
Our mission for our Young Money Masters Program is to help create a world where people are informed to make qualified financial decisions and confidently take effective financial action that best helps them meet their basic human needs while moving toward fulfilling their personal, family, and global community goals.
