College may seem like a long way off when you are surrounded by little ones who need you all day long! Changing diapers, picking up toys, preparing endless meals and snacks might be your current focus but this is a short season and in the blink of an eye those little ones will be ready for college and ready to leave the nest.
It is never too late to prepare for their future even though it might seem a long way off! College is expensive therefore any opportunity you have today to help offset some of the future costs is well worth it. Education.com understands this and is offering an amazing opportunity for your child to win a little cash to put towards their future college education.

The Limitless Learners Contest
This summer Education.com is proud to offer $9,000 in prizes as part of their Limitless Learners Contest! The contest encourages kids in/entering K-5th grade to think creatively about what education means to them and use their art, writing, and language skills to express their ideas.
Six (6) lucky kids (a winner will be chosen from each grade level) will be chosen to receive $500 for college PLUS a free premium lifetime membership to Education.com for their parent or educator! Also, the winning child can choose to nominate their school or local library to win a $1,000 donation as well.
