JERSEY CITY, N.J. | (NJCU) will host "Why Teach Kids tv Money Early," a community discussion on financial literacy in early childhood featuring New Jersey State Senator Angela McKnight. The event will take place on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, from 4-5 p.m. in the Gothic Lounge located in Hepburn Hall Room 202 on campus.
The discussion, sponsored by the Deborah Cannon Partridge Wolfe College of Education, will bring together policymakers, educators, nonprofit leaders, parents, and community experts to explore how early financial education can empower young learners to develop confidence, responsibility, and independence.
"This conversation goes beyond money management—it's about equipping our youngest learners with essential life skills that will serve them throughout their lives," said Sai Jambunathan, Ph.D., a Professor in the Department of Teaching, Learning and Literacy, and event organizer. "We're honored to have Senator McKnight join us for this important dialogue about how we can build financial literacy into every child's learning journey."
The event is free and open to all members of the community, including students, educators, parents, and anyone interested in childhood development and financial education. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue about making financial literacy accessible to all children.
"Our children deserve every opportunity to build a strong foundation for their future, and that starts right here in our community,” said Senator McKnight. “When we teach financial literacy early, we're not just talking about dollars and cents—we're empowering our youngest learners to make confident decisions that will serve them throughout their lives. This is about investing in our children today. That's why I'm honored to join NJCU for this important conversation—because when we work together as a community, we can create lasting change for our families."
