About the Center

Introduction

Welcome to the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Petaluma! 


We are located at the former Little Oaks Montessori on Petaluma Boulevard North and are honored to continue growth and a love of learning in our community! The Kumon of Petaluma has been operating since March 2021. 


Our Kumon Instructor, Susan Tran, first started her Kumon Journey in September 2015 as an instructional assistant at her local Kumon Center and was inspired to continue spreading the joys of Kumon by opening a Center of her own! After years of development, this vision finally came to fruition in Petaluma, CA and was welcomed by the smiling faces of our wonderful students and families.


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, 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.
