About Kumon Math & Reading Franchise Kumon Fosters:
Every Child Can Excel.
Kumon began in 1954 when Toru Kumon, a Japanese teacher and devoted father, created a unique instructional routine to help his son with math. The success of this program led to the first Kumon Center, which opened in Osaka in 1958. After much success in Japan, Kumon came to North America in 1974, with the first center opening in New York State. Today Kumon continues to expand its franchise operations worldwide. Kumon math and reading 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's nothing a child can't do. The Kumon Method was developed to unlock the potential in every child. That's our mission, and we're accomplishing it every day at more than 2,500 Kumon Centers in North America alone. With centers in 47 countries, Kumon has helped more students succeed worldwide than any other after-school academic enrichment program. Kumon Basics The Kumon Routine As with learning to play the piano or hit a baseball, learning skills require frequent practice too. Just like a muscle used to perform a specialized task, the brain needs a certain amount of practice and repetition in order to function at its best. It’s important that children practice each day by completing the Kumon worksheets, which take about 30 minutes per day. Though some lessons might feel redundant at times, remember that it’s all part of the program, and all the effort children put into practicing Kumon lessons pays off. Kumon is most successful when the student, parent and Kumon Instructor work together to ensure that the child advances continually to the best of his or her ability.

The Kumon Instructor Kumon Instructors regard themselves more as mentors or coaches than teachers in the traditional sense. Their principal role is to provide the direction, support and encouragement that will guide the student towards performing at 100% of his or her potential. Students who grow with Kumon may find their relationship to their Kumon Instructor to be among the most rewarding and productive of their academic careers. All Kumon Instructors share a passion for education and an earnest desire to help children succeed. They will invariably apply these along with their talent and training in the Kumon Method to make the most constructive contribution possible to your child's future.
