Mixed reviews: We appreciate Angela and her staff for their commitment to all the children going to their location. After 17 months of our children going it was clear it was time for them to stop in our point of view. Our daughter had done well in the reading program and helped her get caught up to grade level; our son not so much. He has made little to no progress. Seventeen months is a long enough commitment to give the program a fair evaluation and also the time requirement for the parents is also something that can be burdensome.
Our son may have learning difficulties for reading that we are having our physician evaluate but excels at math. Our daughter is not sure of herself when it comes to math. After the 17 months we told Angela that it is time for different reasons that we withdrawal our children and thanked her for her and the staffs efforts.
We are being held to the contract that says we must give a months notice. Fair enough. Its bad business but we will continue since we will be charged. It does seem odd though because we signed our daughter up to math after a week of the month had started and they charged us for the entire month. So like Vegas the house wins financially all the time.
The time requirement for the parents as well is something to think about before signing up to Kumon. It is a daily ongoing thing with two trips to the center a week. Our kids averaged an hour a day of homework each on top of their regular school work and most of the time our help needed. Add this to your work schedule, life and two weekly trips into the center of another hour or two wait it is just a stress that at this time we felt we needed relief from especially when weighed against the results.
