About the Center

Introduction

Welcome to our Kumon Math and Reading Center of Potomac - River Rd. 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. 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. For more information about the Kumon Reading Program.

- A registration fee of $80 with a one-time $30 materials fee per student, a non-refundable fee; is collected at the time of enrollment.

- Kumon is a long-term program, therefore; it is highly recommended that all new students make a minimum of a 12-month commitment.

Please join promptly at your child’s scheduled time.

Center Calendar and Closings: The Center will follow Montgomery County Public School Policies for closing. If the county schools are closed or dismissed early due to weather, then the Kumon center will also be closed for that day. Your child’s safety is our top priority.

Home Correction/Home Grading: Home Correction/Home Grading is required before working on the next assignment therefore students can learn from the mistakes. All parents grade their child(ren)'s worksheets at home on a daily basis so that students can correct any mistake immediately. Please ask for the link for the online answer key book as well as guidelines for home grading.

Daily Study:
- Study on daily basis, consistency is the key to success.

- It is critical that Kumon work is done daily, and not all at one time, after several skipped days. Setting a solid daily ROUTINE is very central to the successful Kumon Method.

- Return all completed homework, as well as incomplete worksheets, to the Center so that the instructor can evaluate and adjust each student’s work. Such individualization is what sets Kumon apart from a regular school curriculum.

- New assignments will NOT be given until previously assigned work is returned.

- Kumon is training your child to become an independent self-learner and try to provide a solution to improve your child’s learning. Becoming a better learner is an ongoing process that requires daily practice and disciplined study habits, as well as the continual acquisition of new study skills and concepts from each Kumon level.
