Introduced during the pandemic, many Kumon centres now offer options for online study, enabling even the busiest of families to benefit from Kumon with the choice of online classes via Zoom from home, or in-person classes with their Instructor at the Kumon centre.

Many parents considering enrolling their child in Kumon have the same question: “I don’t want to overload my young child, but equally I want to give them the best possible head start…So what’s the best age to begin Kumon?”
