Engaging and celebrating is at the heart of supporting our youngest learners. Idaho AEYC applauds family members' role as young children's first and most important teachers.
A Financial Future for Your Little Learners Starts NOW!
One of the easiest ways to build early financial skills is through everyday conversations. Even very young children can start learning about choices, savings, and planning for the future. Idaho AEYC is partnering with IDeal, Idaho's College Savings Program, to share about how to get started! When families are ready to think about education savings for K-12 or beyond, IDeal is here help. Idaho's 529 program gives families a simple, flexible way to save for education --- whether that's K-12, college, career training, or other pathways.
Here’s a quick activity families can try at home:
Grab two jars — one labeled ‘Now’ and one labeled ‘Later.’ When your child receives coins or small rewards, let them decide how much goes into each jar. It’s a fun way to practice making choices and understand that saving a little at a time adds up.
