Kumon was started 50 years ago in Japan by Toru Kumon, a teacher and parent who wanted to help his son do better in school. The unique instructional method he created was so successful that his son was able to do calculus by the time he was in the sixth grade. Kumon reading and math programs help children master those fundamental skills so important to their overall academic performance. Our founder's belief that every child possesses untapped abilities and the potential to excel remains central to our philosophy. In short, there is nothing a child can't do. The Kumon Method was developed to unlock the potential in every child. That's our mission, and we are accomplishing it every day at more than 1,500 Kumon Centers in North America alone.

This is an excellent choice of educational services whether your child needs to be challenged or they need review to get to or stay at grade level. The staff, mostly teen and college students, are pretty knowledgeable and friendly. The students go to the center twice a week and complete daily assignments every day. Parents have a responsibility to make sure students are completing the daily work and also review the work with them.
