Factors to consider range from the philosophical \u2013 the center\u2019s approach to learning and family engagement \u2013 to the practical, such as a center\u2019s location, cost and hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practical factors must be determined by the parent: Is the center near my house or office? How much does it cost? For working parents, are the hours aligned with work time? For stay-at-home parents, how many days\/hours per week would the child attend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the practical questions are disqualifiers \u2013 if you can\u2019t afford it or get there on time, then it\u2019s definitely not a good fit \u2013 here we will tackle the bigger, more discretionary issues, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#approach\" aria-label=\"Choosing the best approach to learning for your child\">Choosing the best approach to learning for your child<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#benefits\" aria-label=\"Benefits of learning centers for both preschoolers and school-age children\">Benefits of learning centers for both preschoolers and school-age children<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#environment\" aria-label=\"Why you should seek a supportive learning environment for your child\">Why you should seek a supportive learning environment for your child<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"approach\">Approach to Learning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin with, consider the philosophy and\/or curriculum the learning center follows. Learning philosophies range from letting children learn everything organically by allowing them to play all day to skill-based practice of specific concepts. Both can be engaging for children. The difference may lie in how much structure you and your child need or want, and what other educational activities a child participates in: Do they attend school or preschool? Do they actively read or practice numbers and writing with a parent at home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distinction is important because the curriculum will differ between centers. Kumon, for example, offers a math and reading program appropriate for all students from age 3 through high school. It\u2019s appropriate for those who are struggling, those who are working ahead of grade level and all of those in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, few centers would offer a full school-based curriculum, which would include science, art, etc. Learning center programs are intended to supplement what children learn at school to help them master the skills they need to succeed in all school subjects and in life beyond school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your child is struggling in school, you may want to ask whether the program you\u2019re considering assists with homework or whether it follows its own program. At some, students are given an initial assessment to determine the appropriate level for them to start. An individualized approach can support the student more successfully. This is because it allows children to work at their own pace to catch up if they are behind or to move ahead of their classmates if the grade-level work is too easy for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:25vh;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#33b8a6\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1796\" height=\"774\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-13493\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-10.00.19\u202fAM.png\" style=\"object-position:100% 100%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"100% 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-10.00.19\u202fAM.png 1796w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-10.00.19\u202fAM-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-10.00.19\u202fAM-768x331.png 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-10.00.19\u202fAM-1536x662.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-10.00.19\u202fAM-640x276.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1796px) 100vw, 1796px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-dbdaf006e532c73b01238e9c5eceb8b3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#383769\"><strong>Practice makes possibilities\u2122 for students at Kumon Math and Reading Centers. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Set up your child for success with a program tailored to their skill level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/how-kumon-works\" aria-label=\"Learn more!\" style=\"color:#383769;background-color:#fbe267\"><strong>Learn more!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some experts believe that practicing skills until they are mastered and following a daily routine can be helpful for children with learning challenges such as ADHD, although daily routines can be supportive for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For pre-kindergarten students, there are many schools of thought about how children learn, but to be ready for kindergarten, children generally need to be able to recognize letters and know the sounds they make and know how to count. They need to be able to sit still and play nicely with their friends. They also need to hone fine motor skills so they can control a pencil and learn to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Kumon centers, early learners are taught to recognize letters and numbers, and they practice that daily at a pace that\u2019s appropriate for them. They learn how to behave in a classroom setting, as the Kumon Center mirrors some aspects of a traditional classroom. They are also taught the correct way to hold a pencil and practice writing letters and numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits\">Benefits of Learning Centers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learning centers offer benefits beyond academics. For both early learners and school-age children, attending such a program reinforces life and social skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For prekindergartners, attending a learning center helps them learn to communicate and interact with people outside their immediate family. They get a preview of what kindergarten will be like in a classroom with a teacher and other children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A parent who enrolls his or her 4-year-old in Kumon will not only see them learn their letter sounds and numbers but also see them develop a better attention span and confidence, which will serve them well in kindergarten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">School-age children who attend a center after school may have help with their homework or gain extra practice time with concepts they are studying. Additional practice can help kids stay at or ahead of grade level. That helps them academically and boosts their confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular practice makes schoolwork much easier. When students practice concepts until they truly master them, their homework takes less time. Additionally, because kids practice daily throughout the year, they develop great study habits and discipline. And because of this consistency, they often need much less time reviewing material that\u2019s already been covered when school resumes after a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enrolling a child in the right learning center can help them be confident, disciplined and successful in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"environment\">A Supportive Learning Environment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best things a parent can do to help their child excel academically is to encourage them to solve their own problems and give them a great foundation on which to build. To do that, place your child in a program that will challenge them but not be so difficult as to frustrate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kumon is a great example of how to walk that fine line because the program is tailored to each individual child. Students are assessed when they begin and placed at the appropriate level. Kumon is not based on grade levels. In math, early learners generally start between level 6A (counting objects up to 10) with the supplemental level Z (how to hold a pencil and trace lines) to 4A (number sequencing), and school-age students generally work on levels 3A (basic addition) to O (calculus). Reading levels range from level Z to level L (critical writing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How long it takes to make that journey depends on where a student starts and how they progress. Children who need additional practice at a particular point may repeat worksheets to make sure they have mastered a skill before they move on. Parents who enroll their children in a strong program are giving them the greatest gift: what they need to be successful in school and in life. To position students for academic success, consider enrolling them in a learning center today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nWhether you are considering a preschool for your little one or an after-school program for your school-age child, choosing a learning center is an important decision for parents.<\/p>\n<p>In either instance, parents want to enroll their children in a high-quality program where they will have a positive <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":13536,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,165],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kumon","category-parenting-articles"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>A Parent Guide to Choosing a Learning Center - Student Resources<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Some commitments involve factors beyond location, cost and hours.
