About the Center

Introduction

Welcome to the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Stafford-West. 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.

At our Kumon Math and Reading Center of Stafford-West, 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.

Policies

A detailed set of Kumon Center policies is provided during the Parent Orientation prior to enrollment. The basics, which apply to all enrolled families, include: 


1- Classes are held on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:30pm-7:30pm. Students are advised to attend class twice a week unless the parents discuss another arrangement with Ms. EJ in advance. 


2 - Whether you are an athlete, musician, or Kumon math and reading student, daily practice is essential for success. Homework is assigned at each student's "just right" level and should be completed, graded, timed, and corrected daily. 


3 - Successful progress in Kumon requires parent's active supervision of daily work. Setting the right study environment, providing positive encouragement, and regularly observing the student will maximize parent's return on investment. 


4 - Regular communication between parents and the Instructor is desired and encouraged. As at school, the top-performing Kumon students are supported by parents who routinely discuss their student's lesson plan and schedule any student-unique learning needs with the Instructor. 


5 - The Kumon Math and Reading Center of Stafford-West uses a classroom approach for instruction. Student independence and self-learning are core principles of the Kumon Method of learning which involves individualized study, not one-on-one tutoring. 


6 - Kumon of Stafford-West operates on monthly tuition fees. Typically, one subject per month costs $180 and two subjects cost $320 per month, but specific rates are provided to parents during the Parent Orientation. We are significantly less expensive than private tutors and "quick fix" types of tutoring programs in the Stafford area. Our mission at Kumon is to bring the Kumon Method of learning to as many students as possible, and therefore we keep our pricing reasonable for a wide range of parents and budgets. 


There is no charge for placement testing, and we do not ask parents to pay a fee to learn the results of the test. There is a one-time registration fee of $80 and a materials fee of $50, which are discussed at orientation. We can generally start students in the program within 2-5 calendar days from the date of testing if we receive all enrollment paperwork from parents in a timely manner. 


Policies pertaining to monthly tuition payments, parent expectations, student behavior, and other matters are provided during the Orientation.
