Teachers, parents & homeschoolers love MoneyTime
I can honestly say I’ve found the program to be a game changer! My students absolutely love it and have gained so much confidence from using it. Their parents are equally excited. I’ve had lots of feedback about how they have enjoyed talking with their children about tough but important financial concepts.

My ten-year old daughter has been really enjoying MoneyTime and is learning a great deal. The modular structure is well-designed and engaging - she continually asks to go back to the program. Congrats to MoneyTime for making learning enticing as well as comprehensive.

So happy to have this amazing program for my boys! I can't believe how much they're learning about finances. And they're learning so much more - like real-life lessons on how to figure out want vs. need, saving, & even giving to charity. We're using it as a homeschool elective but it's turned into so much more than that.

What kids are saying about MoneyTime
I love MoneyTime because it is teaching us for the future but also keeps us interested because it's like a game.
— Teri
I now have large conversations with my family about things that I have picked up from modules. MoneyTime … teaches you life skills, and still allows you to be a kid. I feel like it is really improving my math, and I really hope I can do it again.
— Isabella
I think money time is a lot of fun because it gets you ready for when you leave the house to make your own decisions.
— Antony
I really enjoyed the MoneyTime program. It’s made me money smart. It’s taught me about saving and investment. Not just to spend it on toys and things that are not things that I want.
- Emily
Why financial literacy for kids is so important
Dealing with money is an important part of everyday life. It affects the choices we have and the decisions we make yet we’re neglecting to teach our kids how to grow and manage their money.
In America…
Over 53% of adults are financially anxious*
Four in five youths failed a financial literacy quiz*
Less than 1 in 5 adults feel confident about their saving habits**
The numbers don’t lie, we need to be financially educating our children! At MoneyTime, we want to help schools and parents do just that by making it easy using our online financial literacy program for kids.
