Class Experience

Beginner Level
🎉 Welcome to Walter the Vault®'s Exciting Financial Literacy Class for Kids! 🎉

About this class:

This class is a lot of fun and you learn about "budgeting" in a very relatable way.  We talk about how budgeting means planning ahead.  We use familiar stories and fables to understand how others budget (for example, we talk about the Tortoise and the Hare... who budgets their time and energy better?)

Later, we talk about smart spending... are those purchases the best we could do with our money?  Are we thinking wisely?  

We'll also talk about the topic of "working to grow our money". 

We'll talk about real life, too.  How much money do people have to work with? What do they do with that money?  We'll talk about these same ideas too in regards to our energy and time.

This class is really entertaining, useful, and fun.  Learn more about what we learn below + more about Walter the Vault!!  We have many classes for you to try & surely enjoy :)

🙇‍♀️ Why kids should learn about money?

🩺 Financial Literacy is a crucial life skill. "Walter the Vault®" is your friend, helping to bring up (typically awkward/unnatural) money conversations. Using interactive classes and entertaining media, we help kids understand money in a way that's compelling and fun.  It's never too early to start learning about money.

🐣 Early Empowerment: By embracing financial education early on, kids gain opportunities and choices, boosting their confidence and decision-making abilities.  Understanding money is not just for grown-ups (and grown-ups are encouraged to listen in to our lessons off-screen if they'd like).

✅ Goal Setting & Planning: Whether it's saving for a toy, a new computer, or planning for college, kids learn the importance of envisioning their dreams, setting goals, and taking steps to achieve them. They will learn how small actions add up significantly over time. Children will learn the value of setting and accomplishing self-driven dreams – and then watching them come true!
