About the Center

Introduction

Welcome to the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Ocoee - Towne Center. 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.

Math gets one into college and reading gets one through it. We recommend considering enrollment in both subjects for the synergistic effects of studying both has on the brain. Continuous, consistent, long term practice is the key to forming the habits needed for easily achievable success in academics, business and life.

Price and Fees

Current Tuition per subject, per month:
$175 for one subject with a $5.00 discount available for each additional subject. A family taking two subjects would pay $340 ($170 per subject), three subjects $495 ($165 per subject), four subjects $640.00 ($160 per subject) etc.

Fees:
Registration Fee $80.00 per student
Material Fee $30.00 per student

Tuition is due by the first of the month and is late after the third. Tuition is not refundable. Fifteen (15) days’ notice before the beginning of the tuition/enrollment month is required for enrollment and tuition changes.

Last month's tuition is collected upon enrollment and equal to one month of tuition. It is used to pay for the last month of enrollment. Though payment of the last month’s tuition is due in the first month of enrollment, payment of last month’s tuition may be spread over several months at the request of the enrolling family. Last month’s tuition will be applied to a student’s last month, conditional upon 45 days written notice and the return of all materials belonging to the center. 

It is important to view Kumon as a long term program. We know from our more than 60 years of Kumon history that short term enrollments don't work and in some cases can add to confusion as new skills fail to become habits. 

Policies

Center Policies


Enrollment: Before enrollment, parents are required to attend a parent orientation and students are required to take placement tests to determine a comfortable starting point. The starting point determined by these tests is not negotiable. A progress goal will be generated to share with the prospective family.


Initial enrollment commitment in a subject is for one year and continues thereafter without further commitment. If a separate subject is added, there is a one year commitment for that subject as well.


The Classroom: Parents should refrain from entering the classroom. Stop at the front desk and share your concerns with the staff.  Class time belongs to the students and they deserve Mr. Saul’s attention. An appointment can be made to speak with Mr. Saul for either a phone conversation or a face to face meeting.


To avoid accidental spills or disruptions, no food or drink should be brought into the classroom. Students should also leave all toys and electronic devices in the car or with their parents.


Cell phones should remain put away (out of sight). They maybe used at the end of a student’s session to let parents know they are finished. After finishing their work students will be asked to wait quietly in the classroom or the waiting room. Parents should remain close by in order to pick up their student(s) in a timely manner.


Repetition and advancement: Each level has a standard completion time, accuracy goals, and method requirements which are used to determine when a student is ready to advance. There are many places in the worksheets and in each students understanding that require repetition. Mr. Saul will use the Kumon Method to determine when repetition is required.


Vacation and time off: Each student may take one month off per year without being discontinued on the Kumon North America database. Students who are absent a second month in a calendar year will need to be enrolled again. The length of the absence will determine if the student will need to adjust their restarting point or test again. Taking work with you when you go on vacation is a good idea. Please let the front desk staff know one week in advance so a logical vacation plan can be made. Remember that changes in enrollment require a 15 day notice.
