About the Centre

Welcome to our Kumon Math and Reading Centre. 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.

Continuous Learning
Kumon is a year-round program. It is important that our students continue their Kumon studies throughout the year, including the summer, so that they can keep up with a consistent study habit as well as advance to more challenging materials as soon as possible. Hence, we require a minimum of one-year commitment in the Kumon program so that parents and students can understand the full benefits of long term study. 


Centre Closure
We will notify all students and parents of centre closures at least two weeks in advance. We will provide sufficient homework for all students to do during this period. Students will be notified and will receive homework during these days.


Vacation / Classwork Pick-Up
Students and parents may pick up work for the week if for some reason you cannot stay for the class. For longer periods of absence, please try your best to notify us at least two weeks prior so we can have sufficient time to plan and prepare work for your child to do during your vacation. 


Communications
Communication is an important element of your child’s learning journey. We provide positive and constructive feedback during class to our students. We highly encourage parents to do the same at home and celebrate your child’s success. We try our best to reserve our class hours for working and observing our students. If you have comments or questions regarding your child’s work, please do not hesitate to contact us via written notes, phone calls, or email outside of class hours. Our centre newsletters will also be emailed to you to keep you updated on our centre happenings.


Answer Books     
Answer books are the property of our Kumon Centre and should be returned promptly upon completion of each level. Please handle the answer books with care. A charge of $5 will be levied against books that are misplaced, damaged, or not returned.                                                                                 


Safety and Liability
It is important that children are supervised at all times. Castleridge Kumon Centre does not take any responsibility for students’ safety after they have completed their classwork and leave the centre. Parents must ensure your children’s safety by picking them up promptly after class. The parent and/or guardian shall be liable for any damages and injuries caused by their children to other persons, the Kumon centre, or the premises in which the centre is located.
