# The Right Time to Teach Financial Literacy Is … Now

We believe it’s never too early to begin instilling the principles of financial literacy and responsibility. That’s why we have products designed for kids as young as just a few days old.

That’s right; you can enroll your children in our Kids Savings School and open a savings account as soon as they have a Social Security Number. (They do still need to meet [eligibility requirements](https://avadiancu.com/Membership/Why-Join-Avadian/Who-Is-Eligible).)

The Kids Savings School Account is more than just a savings account. It includes the following benefits:

- A special wristband and “school” book that teaches about financial principles
- Fun-filled adventures with Professor Finneas, Penny the Fish, and Cash the Seahorse that offer important lessons on money
- Discounts for the [Georgia Aquarium](https://www.georgiaaquarium.org/club-fish/avadian-credit-union/)
- The opportunity to “fish” for a gift every time they make a deposit at one of our branch locations
- Quarterly dividends on balances greater than $100
- Developing a relationship with Avadian, making it easier to apply for additional products and services as they grow
- Automatic conversion to the [Edge Savings Account for Teens](https://avadiancu.com/Personal/Build/Personal-Savings/Edge-Savings-for-Teens) when they turn 13
