Kumon

Getting the applause they so richly deserve....

Many families enroll multiple children at Kumon of Merrick. We thank them all for their confidence in us ❤️

Test your knowledge of the Kumon program..

Hi, I'm Steve and I own the Kumon Math and Reading Center in Merrick, NY. I post a few times each week mainly about the Kumon program and how it can help your children.

Most tutoring helps with homework, focusing on today's problems. But Kumon does something completely different, building long-term skills step by step from the foundation up. It's an approach designed for true, lasting development.⁠
⁠
The academic results are evident. Children don't just keep pace; they develop a profound understanding from the ground up, equipping them with the capability to tackle future challenges. This consistent, foundational approach ensures they are not merely keeping up, but truly growing stronger in their learning.⁠
⁠
What truly stands out is the enduring strength it builds. This commitment to foundational learning fosters a resilience and self-reliance that empowers children to grow stronger over time, ready for whatever comes next 🌟⁠

What helps children become confident, independent learners? Watch our feature on The Balancing Act with Mario and Courtney Lopez to learn how the Kumon Method helps children build strong math and reading skills, develop perseverance, and gain the confidence to learn independently.

Two kids, two grade levels, two completely different homework loads, and both are thriving. That is not an accident. It comes down to consistency. With a designated time built into the morning routine, homework gets done before the day gets away from them, and the results speak for themselves. A seventh grader performing three grade levels ahead and a third grader earning gold in math and silver in reading. That kind of progress does not happen without showing up every day.⁠
⁠
And when summer comes around, there is no scrambling to keep skills sharp. While other families worry about the learning slide, this mom already knows there is a designated hour each day where her kids will sit down and do their work. Everything they spent the school year building stays intact, and they head back to school in the fall ahead, not behind.⁠
⁠
That peace of mind is the part that does not always get talked about. Knowing your kids are not falling behind, knowing the work is being done, knowing the growth continues even when school is out. That is what a real routine gives a family 🌟⁠
⁠

We’re excited to be featured on The Balancing Act with Mario and Courtney Lopez airing Friday, October 30th, 7:30am (ET/PT) on Lifetime. Tune in to see how Kumon helps children build confidence, strong math and reading skills, and independent learning habits.

Next time your child gets the right answer on a math problem, ask them to explain how they got there. What they say next will tell you more about their mathematical understanding than any grade they have ever brought home.⁠
⁠
Because genuine mathematical understanding has three important parts: arriving at the correct answer, explaining the reasoning, and applying that reasoning to new problems. A child who can do all three truly owns the material, demonstrating an ability that goes beyond simply producing correct answers on a test.⁠
⁠
This fully built understanding means a child won't freeze when the format changes or fail when a procedure is applied to something new. It's not about being a 'gifted' child, but about building a complete understanding of the 'why' behind the math, and that understanding travels with them, empowering them for future challenges 🌟⁠

We’re highlighting a beautiful Global Dignity Day celebration held at Kumon of Rolling Meadows, where students came together to recognize the importance of kindness, respect, and empathy!

Through meaningful conversations, students shared what dignity means to them, from showing kindness and empathy to helping others and treating everyone with respect.

At Kumon, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and build confidence at their own pace. We love seeing our Kumon Centers bring these values to life through initiatives that encourage students to make a positive difference in their communities.

Thank you to Kumon of Rolling Meadows for sharing this beautiful celebration with us!

From Kumon student to Kumon assistant! 💙
