Every bedtime story, library visit, and chapter finished helps build a lifelong love of learning. 📚

And as we celebrate National Literacy Month and College Savings Month, it’s a great reminder that investing in a child’s future can start long before college applications.

Whether you’re building a love of reading, encouraging curiosity, or putting a little aside for future education, small steps today can help set kids up for tomorrow. 💚

Here are a few books for children about financial literacy:

- Like a Penny's Worth by Kimberly Wilson
- Money Doesn't Grow on Trees by McKenzie Heath
- Rock, Brock and the Savings Shock by Sheila Bair
- Curious George Saves His Pennies by Monica Perez

This year’s shopping list might include crayons and notebooks. A few years from now, it could be required textbooks, an essential laptop, or specialized equipment for a trade or certificate program.

WA529 savings can be used for qualified education expenses, including necessary books, supplies, and equipment for eligible programs, helping families prepare for more than just tuition.

College Savings Month is a great reminder that building savings habits starts with the little things.

Teaching kids about money can look like:
• Running a bake sale.
• Comparing prices at the grocery store.
• Filling up a piggy bank.
• Saving for something they’ve been asking for.

Those everyday moments help build smart money habits, and one day, those same habits can make saving for college or career training feel a whole lot more achievable. 💙

It’s never too late to start saving, even though it can feel like it is.

The truth is, the only thing worse than starting late, is not starting at all.

What you do today still matters for what comes next.

For those whose children are going into senior year… are you ready?

We understand it’s all happening so fast, and if you’re like most parents, it can feel like you should have done more, saved more, planned more.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need everything figured out today.
What matters now is understanding your options and using what you’ve built to support the path ahead, no matter their journey.

Senior year moves fast, but trust in what you’ve built.

“For us, it’s about balance—combining the certainty of locked-in tuition with the growth potential of market-based savings. Together, they give us confidence we’ll be ready when the time comes.” -Lynda Ridgeway, WA529 parent.

Higher education looks different for everyone, but the goal is the same: more options, more opportunity, and more direction for the future.

A WA529 plan can help support that flexibility, so you can use it in a way that fits your family’s path.

Do you ever worry your savings won’t be enough one day? Even if it doesn’t feel like “enough,” it still matters.

Saving for your child or grandchild is still an act of care for their future. Over time, those small contributions can grow and help with books, supplies, or other education costs.

It doesn’t have to cover everything to make a difference. It just has to be there when they need it. 💙

If your child already has more toys than they know what to do with, consider asking a loved one to give the gift of education instead. 💙
