About the Centre

Introduction

Welcome to our Kumon Math and Reading Centre of Esquimalt - Esquimalt Plaza, now open and operated by Instructor Paulo Alanes.

For over 60 years, Kumon’s after-school academic program has been helping children achieve success worldwide. The program was created by Toru Kumon, with the goal of helping his son complete senior high school calculus by grade 6, allowing him more time to explore his interests and discover his passions.

At our Centre, we aim to instill in children a love of learning and the motivation to achieve their goals. Whether your child needs enrichment, needs to catch up, or is just starting their academic journey, Kumon is designed to help them develop a love for learning.

At Kumon, students progress at their own pace, with daily individualized practice that builds focus, motivation, and self-reliance. We closely monitor each child’s progress to ensure they understand each concept before moving on to the next.

With a strong academic foundation, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving abilities, your child will have the potential to achieve anything they desire. Join us and let us help your child unleash their full potential.

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.

Policies

Commit to Learn Pledge

 

Kumon is a long-term program. While every child’s progress is different, Kumon students often reach important milestones, step-by-step, as they work their way through the program.

§  Months 1-3: This is when students typically establish their daily Kumon routine and progress through the early worksheets with confidence and focus.

§  Months 4-6: As the work becomes more challenging, students are able to solidify their fundamental skills and further develop study habits for long-term success.

§  Months 7-9: Along with improved academic ability, students at this stage are typically applying the skills they have learned and acquiring the discipline needed to strive for long-term goals.

§  Months 10-12: By this point, students will often get to experience advanced material. This is a new beginning for students to start self-learning and discovering their own true potential.

 

For my child to receive the full benefits of the Kumon Method, I commit to support my child to develop the study habits that will last a lifetime*:

   I understand that building a solid academic foundation through Kumon takes time.

   I acknowledge that my child needs to attend class regularly, complete their Kumon assignments daily, and study without interruption for a period of at least 12 months in order to receive the full benefits of the program.

   I commit to work with the Instructor and help my child prioritize their Kumon work so that they can establish the habits and skills that are critical for lifelong success.

 

*This is not a binding agreement. Please inquire with the Instructor for details regarding requests to discontinue the program.
