The center is a great environment to nurture the little minds and give them the edge they need to keep up or stay ahead. Kavita and Nirav are a perfect and a patient team to encourage, realize and achieve your child's potential.

Meh....it was "okay" at best. The kids never liked doing it..but it helped them at first so I made them stick with it. Eventually, the 10 minutes of work per subject shot up to 45 minutes (we did reading and math). Then we had to adjust to lessen the time commitment...then it got higher again and it was just too much.
If you want your kid to do homework ONLY then Kumon is a great fit. If you want your kid to play an instrument, play a sport and have fun with friends, don't buy into it - it wears out quickly. The work is MIND NUMBING for the kids....painful to grade as well (which you have to do as a parent).
After 3 months (and after starting in the summer then school starting) it proved to be too much for our family with we, as parents, traveling and other things. Went to cancel or postpone until next summer and its "not possible". There is a "contract" you sign...so you are stuck paying. Not worth getting upset over, but a pain regardless and a bit of a joke as they don't do anything...they don't grade the work, they don't stay open all week....its just wrong really. Feeling ripped off actually....
Just be careful about it early on...it all sounds good - but it is painful. They don't need to enforce the contracts, they don't even need to have them...why don't they just go month to month? Be weary - lots of other options available for kids that don't ALSO require parents to do work. Aren't we busy enough?
