About the Centre

Introduction

Welcome to the Kumon Math and Reading Center of North York - Bedford Park! 


Our Centre is conveniently located in the Yonge and Lawrence Neighborhood. Our address is 3300 Yonge St, Suite 205, Toronto, M4N 2L6.

For more than 60 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. Click here for more information about the Kumon Math Program. 


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


Kumon Math and Reading of North York - Bedford Park is available to students of all ages- from preschool to elementary and high school! We are also available to students of all learning abilities. We create individualized lesson plans so that each student is working at his or her just right level and at a comfortable pace. The Kumon Method is more than a tutoring program. The students are in the driver's seat, controlling their pace so that they can experience advanced levels of study as early as they are capable of experiencing it. 


Our friendly, highly-trained staff is dedicated to providing your child with the best academic learning environment possible. By not tutoring, our assistants guide the students to become independent learners by providing hints to use their acquired math and reading skills. 


At Kumon Bedford Park centre, we believe that EVERY student has the potential to learn far beyond our expectations. Kumon Bedford Park encourages each individual student to want to learn, to enjoy learning, and to be capable of studying successfully in the future using the math and reading skills as well as the self-learning skills they acquire from Kumon.

Home Study Session
Students must complete their work independently and quickly on assigned dates. We recommend that students complete their assignments in a consistent space and at a consistent time, free of distractions. A student's non-writing hand should be placed firmly on his/her worksheets, while his/her writing hand moves at a smooth rhythm. His/her eyes should remain on the page until the very last problem.

Communication
ALL communication is welcome!
We want to hear from you! Feel free to contact us via phone or email. You can also schedule a parent conference to learn more about your child's progress and goals. We will keep you informed of your child’s progress.

Absences
Please give 1 week notice prior to a vacation to ensure that your child's Kumon work is prepared in advance.
According to Kumon North America’s Absence Policy students absent more than one month during a calendar year must be re-registered and pay the registration fee ($50) to resume Kumon study.

Home Grading
Home Grading is highly recommended. Students whose homework is graded and corrected on a daily basis progress more smoothly and rapidly through the program.
Answer books are provided and should be kept in a safe place. When your child completes a level, the answer book should be returned. It will be exchanged for a new answer book.
If students require help from you, please make a note on the work. Feel free to write any helpful notes on the first page of your child's homework assignment. This will help us lesson plan and ensure that your child progresses at a comfortable pace.
Consult your home grading guide for specific tips on the home grading procedure. These guides are located in the parent waiting room. We've also uploaded copies to this website's "Forms" section. 
ALL assignments must have name, date, starting time and ending time on the 1st page.
Additional parental involvement is required for Math levels 7A-4A and Reading levels 7A-3A.

Tuition
Tuition is collected every 1st of the month, through Electronic Funds Transfer (via bank account). The first and last month’s tuition are due upon enrollment.   A $25 fee will be charged for non-sufficient funds(NSF) or non-current banking information. If for any reason, you wish to discontinue Kumon, a written notice is required a minimum of 6 weeks before the effective date and after the 6 months commitment.  Failure to give such written notice will result in a full charge of class fees and/or forfeiture of the last month’s fee.
