One-subject students attend class for approximately 20 - 30 minutes.

*Time may vary depending on the student’s level, age, and the worksheets assigned.
We request to schedule one 30 minutes session for one-subject students and two 30 minutes sessions for two-subject students for days students attend. In order to maintain smooth operation, please try to come to the center during selected sessions. If students are not able to come to the center during selected sessions due to any circumstances, please notify the Center as soon as possible.
It is important that students arrive on time to complete their assignment. We recommend that one-subject students arrive no later than 30 minutes before closing and that two-subject students arrive no later than 1 hour before closing.
Pre-school students will be asked to commit to a specific time.
Class Attendance
Class attendance is a vital part of the Kumon program. Observing students at work in class greatly assists in the planning process for that student. We also prefer to introduce new concepts in class so we may assist your child in reaching his/her Kumon goals. If a student is unable to attend class, please call the Center by 12:00 p.m. on the day of the class. This will allow us the time to make adjustments to the student’s plan and prepare the work to be picked up.
Center Calendar
Although Kumon is a year-round program of study, we do observe some national holidays as well as a break at the end of December. Specific dates of Center closings will be posted in the parent waiting area. Center Holidays Observed include:
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Washington’s Birthday
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Thanksgiving Day
Winter Break
*Approximately one week
Payment
For your convenience, we offer monthly electronic funds transfer (EFT) payment and credit card with a 3% fee options.
The 1st month tuition payment, registration, and material fees are due at the time of enrollment.
If you intend on discontinuing Kumon study, 30 days written notice is required. (Please refer to the Absence Policy for more details.)
Absence Policy
A student who, for whatever reason, does not take any Kumon materials in a given month, but who plans to resume Kumon study within one month, is considered "absent." An "absent" student is considered "discontinued" being absent for more than one month in a given calendar year. If a "discontinued" student resumes Kumon study, the registration fee will be assessed at the time of re-enrollment. The student must take another placement test in order to determine the “Just-Right” Level.
*Multi-subject students have to be absent for more than one month in all subjects concurrently for this policy to apply. Students remaining enrolled in at least one subject will not be affected by this policy.
Vacations
Kumon homework is assigned 365 days per year unless requested in advance in writing at least one week prior to the date of the adjustment. Parents should complete an “Absence Notification Form” at least one week prior to the absence. Please indicate the class days to be missed and any adjustments required for the students’ work. We encourage that students do not take a break from their regular Kumon routine on long trips. Forms are available in the parent waiting area, and should be placed in the “Communication Box”.
Workload
The Instructor determines the number of worksheets assigned to each student. It is important that the student is given the appropriate level and amount of work. To accomplish this, students are observed carefully while working at the Center. Parental feedback regarding student’s work is always welcome. Please contact the Center the day before class to discuss any adjustments or concerns regarding your child’s Kumon study plan. This will ensure that any necessary adjustments can be made prior to the next class. Please keep in mind, however, that an adjustment to a student’s workload is at the discretion of the Instructor.
Worksheet
Students should return completed homework sheets on scheduled class days. On class days, the student completes the planned class work and, after grading (and making corrections if needed), the worksheets are left at the Center to be reviewed by the Instructor and then recorded in our database. Worksheets are returned to the student after they are reviewed by the Instructor.
RRL Books / Supplementary Learning Materials Return Policy
Students are allowed to take a book or Supplementary Learning Material to home. These items will need to be returned within one week. New books or materials will not be given out unless the previous ones are returned. If books and/or Supplementary Learning Materials are not returned within one month after they were borrowed, a $10 ($20 for Supplementary Learning Materials) replacement fee will be assessed for each unreturned item.
Communication with Parents
Kumon information will be sent to the parents in the child’s homework pouch regularly. In addition, there will be a quarterly newsletter to keep you informed of Center activities. Parent conferences will be held throughout the year. You may request a meeting at any time to discuss your child’s Kumon progress. Please note, however, that meetings will not be scheduled during class time.
