Earn & Learn: Financial Literacy Weekend

Knock Knock Children’s Museum and the Society of Louisiana Certified Public Accountants are teaming up to teach children about the importance of earning, saving, giving, and spending wisely on Saturday and Sunday, April 29 – 30, 2023 during the “Earn and Learn—Financial Literacy Weekend.” And to make it extra special for everyone in the Capital Region, the Society of Louisiana CPAs is generously sponsoring a Free Sunday at the Museum, on Sunday, April 30. Both days will feature activities designed to build financial literacy and money management skills. Children can “earn” credits by participating in fun and educational activities and then “spend” their hard-earned credit in the “Earn and Learn Shop.”

Our Earn and Learn Weekend, teaches kids valuable money management skills through active play. Reaching young people with concepts such as earning, spending, saving, and giving, provides lessons that can help them throughout their lives, and these are valuable concepts for adults too.

FREE SUNDAY – Sunday, April 30

Free Day registration is full; however, we will accept walk-ups during the event as our building capacity allows. Please be prepared to be patient. The safety of our guests is our top priority.

Sunday, April 30th will be our first FREE SUNDAY of 2023. We will have all the same great programming on both days of our Financial Literacy Weekend including the “Earn and Learn Shop.” The museum’s Learning Innovations staff, in conjunction with the Society of Louisiana CPAs, has developed a series of fun activities dealing with money management. By participating in the activities, children “earn” credits that can be spent purchasing items in the “Earn and Learn Shop.”

To provide the best possible museum experience, we will offer two FREE SESSIONS. Session 1 will begin at 11:00 am and end at 1:30 pm. Session 2 begins at 1:30 pm and will last until the museum closes at 4:00 pm. We encourage you to pre-register to ensure your spot in the session of your choice. We will accept walk-ups on a first come first served basis. Space is limited so register today.
