Amazing Experience
I really was not sure what to expect. My mother signed my kids up for this program. It’s hard to find a summer program that can take all 3 of my kids at an extremely affordable price. They had a wonderful summer”

True financial understanding goes beyond just saving. It’s about respecting the currency itself. When we take the time to teach children the history of physical dollars and coins—the intricate designs, the leaders on our bills, the changes in metal composition over time—they begin to see money as more than just something to spend. They see it as a representation of labor, trade, and national history. This respect for currency fosters a mindset of responsibility, making them think twice before carelessly spending what they’ve earned.
