KIDS IN CHARGE

Parents are welcome, but are strongly encouraged to stand back and let the children deliver their pitch and close the sale.

CREATIVITY WINS

The most successful entrepreneurs sell products that solve a problem, are well priced, or that customers simply can’t resist!

Prepare For The Market

As children learn free market principles by creating goods, engaging customers and executing their business plan, their confidence soars!

At our markets, the kids must do the selling! They are in charge of all aspects of their business. (No bartering allowed.)
