About the Center

Welcome to the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Upper Marlboro - Main Street! 

        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. We are not like the old-fashioned one-on-one tutoring services where your child will become dependent upon a tutor for test preparation and homework help. The Kumon Math and Reading Center of Upper Marlboro recognizes the need for students to become self sufficient, independent, critical thinkers who are college and career ready. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Is there a contract?

No. We ask that you notify us by the 15th of the month if you do not plan to continue so that we can remove you from autopay and we can adjust the session availability of the center schedule.

2. How many times a week do students come in?

Ideally, students have an in-center session twice a week. If a student knows in advance that they will miss a session, we can assign additional work for them until they can return to the center again.
