In the modern fast paced money environment, children encounter money decisions earlier than ever before. Whether it’s buying virtual items or signing up for digital services, kids make choices that affect real money. This makes early money teaching a necessity, not something to delay. 4MQ’s mission is to ensure children grow up with strong money skills.
Why Early Money Education Matters
Money habits develop at a young age. Their approach to money forms during the primary years. With the 2028 curriculum changes, schools and families are preparing for new expectations. Adults need clarity and supportive resources to make money learning natural. This is where 4MQ helps, bringing clear and effective learning to homes and schools.
A Mission Shaped for the Future
