Financial literacy, though often associated with older children and adults, is fundamentally important even for children aged 3-6. At this early stage, financial literacy doesn't involve complex concepts or monetary transactions but rather lays the groundwork for future understanding and responsible financial behavior.

One foundational aspect is the development of number sense, which is critical for financial math. Number sense in early childhood involves recognizing numbers, understanding their value, and using them in basic equations. These skills are central to many aspects of personal finance, such as budgeting, saving, and understanding costs.

Introducing simple financial concepts like saving, starting with small allowances or piggy banks, frames their understanding of money management later on. When children grasp the idea that coins can be saved to achieve a goal, they learn patience, goal-setting, and delayed gratification.

Additionally, stories, play activities, and interactive games involving basic transactions teach children the concept of exchange and value, reinforcing math principles in a practical, engaging manner.

By focusing on early financial literacy and related math skills, parents and teachers provide children with a strong foundation that promotes confident, thoughtful financial decisions in the future, fostering a lifetime of financial well-being. Essentially, financial literacy is an extension of numeracy that, when cultivated early on, equips children with essential life skills.
