About the Center

Welcome to our Kumon Math and Reading Center of Dublin - Avery. For more than 50 years, Kumon’s after-school academic enrichment program has helped children achieve success worldwide. We strive to instill in children the desire to achieve and the motivation to learn on their own. Whether your child is seeking enrichment, needs help catching up or is just beginning his or her academic career, Kumon is designed to help him or her develop a love of learning.

Students advance through the program at their own pace. Our emphasis on individualized learning helps your child become focused, motivated and self-reliant. We monitor each child’s progress to ensure comprehension before moving on to a new concept. With a strong academic foundation, critical thinking and problem solving abilities, your child has the potential to achieve whatever he or she desires.

The Kumon Math Program is a comprehensive curriculum that develops the necessary skills to help children progress from counting through calculus. For more information about the Kumon Math Program, click here.

The Kumon Reading Program begins with basic phonics and progresses all the way through advanced reading comprehension. For more information about the Kumon Reading Program, click here.

We are here to help the students in ways that makes it exciting for them!

 

                                       DUBLIN AVERY KUMON CENTER POLICIES

PARENTS, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CENTER POLICIES CAREFULLY (Full list of Center Policies available at the Center):

1. Our class times at the Kumon Center of Dublin - Avery are Monday and Thursday from 3:30pm until 7:30pm. Please make sure students arrive at the Center with enough time to complete their work within these hours. 
   
   
2. Please do not ask for extra work without giving me at least one class day’s notice ahead of time. I may not have the worksheets you need. It is best to let me know in advance if you want to pick up extra work the following week. That way, I can make a note of it right in the student’s record and avoid mix-ups. A written note from you is best and may lead to less confusion later as class time can be hectic.
   
   
3. All homework is to be completed, marked by a parent or guardian, and corrected on a daily basis (preferably with a red pen, but not pencil). This saves the student from having to spend an hour or more at the Center (while you wait) doing corrections from the previous week. More importantly, if the student does not do his/her corrections on a daily basis at home, he/she may continue making the same mistake through several sets and may have to repeat that work again later to “unlearn” the mistake he/she has made consistently. 
   
   
4. It is VERY IMPORTANT that students record their starting and finishing times. This, in addition to the accuracy of the work, helps me to monitor the student’s progress. Home-grading guidelines for both Math & Reading are available and are provided to all new families when you enroll (it’s a good idea to review these guidelines periodically). 
   
   
5. Parents and siblings may wait in the designated waiting area or outside, but NOT IN THE CLASSROOM AREA. It is imperative that students be allowed to complete their assignments independently in a quiet atmosphere that is conducive to learning. Remember to respect the center’s property. For the sake of student safety, do not leave students at the Center while you run errands. 
   
   
6. The Kumon Center of Dublin - Avery operates on a year-round basis, including the summer months. Understandably, students will go on vacation at various times. Please give at least one week’s notice for vacations so that sufficient work may be prepared for students. 
   
   
7. The monthly payment will be deducted through EFT every month.
   
   
8. Answer books are the property of the Kumon Center of Dublin - Avery. Please handle them with care. Answer books are to be handed in once the student graduates to the next level. An answer book for the new level will be given to replace the old book. 
   
   
9. Remember that progress is not judged strictly by the page number that the student is working on. Compare the time taken and the score attained each time. Any decrease in time and increase in accuracy is progress. Remember to provide a lot of encouragement.
   
   
10. All information that I distribute to parents (tuition envelopes, newsletters, notices, etc.) is sent through the Kumon student, so please check with your child after every class to see if there is something for you with their homework.
    
    
11. Keep your perspective! Kumon is a “supplemental” education program. We are here to help students do better in their regular school classrooms. Nothing from Kumon goes on students’ “permanent records” and there is no failure by students in Kumon. You can best support your child by:   

• Making sure he/she completes his/her work on a daily basis

• Grading each day’s assignment and then checking that corrections have been completed.

• Making sure they complete the work themselves. In Kumon, children have the luxury of being able to spend as much time as is necessary to master a concept, as measured by accuracy and speed. Giving them the answers or doing the work for them ultimately compromises student’s progress, as they will not learn concepts necessary to succeed at higher levels.

• Being on the lookout for students copying answers from the answer books or using calculators in math problems. Keep these items out of your child’s possession during “Kumon time.”        

We will schedule an appropriate time for the child. Please be sure to bring them on time.
    
During center hours, my first and most important priority is to help the kids achieve their maximum learning  potential. Please contact me before/ after center hours if you have any question.   My e-mail is [email protected], and in case of emergency please call me at 312-315-7309. In case of poor weather conditions, power failures, or closure of the school building, I will contact you through the email address that you provided during registration.
