In today's fast-paced world, equipping our children with essential life skills is more crucial than ever. While traditional education lays a strong foundation, fostering financial literacy early on can significantly impact their future success. At the Brevard Children's Business Fair, we believe in empowering young minds by providing a real-world platform to learn and practice responsible money management.


Building a Foundation for Responsible Money Management

Imagine your child not just understanding, but actively applying concepts like profit, expenses, and budgeting. This isn't a distant dream; it's the reality at our annual fair. By creating and running their own mini-businesses, children aged 6 to 17 gain invaluable hands-on experience that textbooks simply can't replicate.


Real-World Lessons, Real-Life Impact

The Brevard Children's Business Fair offers a unique opportunity for kids to:

  • Calculate Costs: Learn to identify and quantify the expenses involved in creating their products or services.

  • Set Prices: Understand the delicate balance between competitive pricing and profitability.

  • Grasp Profit Margins: Discover the concept of profit and how it contributes to the success of a business.

  • Budgeting Basics: Develop the skill of managing income and expenses effectively.


This immersive experience transforms abstract financial concepts into tangible, practical knowledge. By engaging in these activities, children develop healthy financial habits that will serve them well into adulthood.


Nurturing Financial Literacy at Home

We understand that financial education starts at home. Here are some simple yet effective ways to introduce your children to the world of money management:

  • Start with the Basics: Introduce concepts like saving and spending through everyday conversations.

  • Allowance and Expense Tracking: Give them an allowance and encourage them to track their expenses, fostering a sense of accountability.

  • Educational Games: Engage them with board games that involve money, making learning fun and interactive.


Why the Brevard Children's Business Fair?

Our fair goes beyond a simple learning experience. It's a celebration of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit. Children gain confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and learn the value of hard work.
