Learning Struggles


Is your child struggling in school? Have you recently found out he/she has a learning disability? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, just remember you are not alone. There are children all around the world with these issues ranging from ADD, ADHD, NLD to Dyslexia and anywhere in between. If you, your doctor and/or school have determined that your child may have one or even more than one of these issues, than Kumon is here to help. We know at Kumon that your child's school is always an excellent resource, but we also know that sometimes it's simply not enough or may not have the correct resources to give your child the one-on-one learning they require. Kumon is an organization that works with all children with a variety of learning discrepancies and takes them to the next level. We understand each child has it's own unique learning curve and embraces each one of them individually. When a child arrives at a center we first assess the child in their natural learning environment and identify what level of learning they are at and then create a learning plan for success. If you are interested in enrolling your child into a Kumon center, the process is an easy five simple step process.

Learning Made Fun!


As we know learning is not always fun, especially in a child's eyes. It can be boring, tedious and uneventful with no motivation. We at Kumon of West Worcester, have learned that children who strive for goals and milestones are motivated to work harder and children who are striving for goals in the learning process is a win-win situation.

The first win is simple, anyone who is striving for a goal is motivated to reach that goal and the second win is when achieving those goals confidence levels are boosted. Kumon has recognized this trend and created "Kumon Cosmic Club". The Cosmic club is designed for learning to be fun and motivating by earing points for prizes. The Cosmic Club is easy for a child to be involved in as it works in the following four steps:

11)     Every student who is enrolled in math, reading or Kukugo (Japanese Language) is automatically enrolled into the club.
22)     Points are obtained by reaching certain milestones
-        Enrollment into Kumon
-        Reaching new levels within the Kumon program
-        Attaining math level of 200 / reading L 200 / Kukgo 200
33)      Build your points or use them as you go!
44)      Cash in your points for great prizes. Choose from six different prize levels depending on the amount of points you have in your bank.

Now that your child has all of the tools and motivational resources to be successful and strive for grand prize of success, visit Kumon at http://www.kumon.com/centerepage/home.aspx?p1=6d4d82ab-cdbf-46d0-acfb-61b7ced78eae&p2=1&p3=west-worcester

Have you ever thought about opening up your own Kumon Learning Center?


Entering into a community that serves more than four million children worldwide and 2000 centers in the United States alone has given many children the confidence to raise their hands in class. An institution that was started by a father who had a dream and perseverance for his son to achieve more through his education, Kumon Learning Center instills children with fundamental skills. 

Improving a child’s ability to have self-reliance and confidence in their abilities at a young age, Kumon Learning Center helps equip children with the tools to be leaders of tomorrow. This is an organization that works together to achieve the overall goals of the Kumon name as well as the goals of each individual center.

Hello Victory Goodbye Defeat


Hello Victory Goodbye Defeat

Do you remember when you were a child and received a not so idealistic grade on your report card?

Your confidence was blown out the window and a feeling of defeat had taken over. Do you remember how long that feeling stayed with you?

Was it days?

Months?

Years?

For many children of all ages this feeling becomes reoccurring and can have long lasting affects on their everyday learning, which can lead into their adult lives. Kumon is an organization, which thrives it self on teaching children how to be able to move past the feeling of defeat and gain confidence on their learning abilities.

Kumon Learning Center supports and guides children in learning beyond their grade level in both math and reading. We are giving our children many tools for a successful future that will open many doors of opportunity. Children who study above grade level may qualify for special programs and acceptance into higher-level high school classes, prepared for standardized tests and college opportunities.

In addition, the other benefits of working beyond a child's specific grade level is the skill building that can apply to other classes, perfected study habits, self motivation, time management, and discipline. Involving Kumon Learning center into the educational plan can achieve the preparation and implementation of educational confidence among students.

How do you apply your study habits to every day life?
