Hello,
I am not clear from your quesion.
1. Do you want to put your kid in kumon classes??
It might be too early to put your 3 yrs old to kumon.
2. Do you want to work at Kumon as teacher??
It depends on the center hours, there might be other teachers as well.
One of my friend works at Kumon in MASS, she works from 10-2 on saturdays.
Other friend works on saturday 10-3, sunday 12 - 2 and tuesday 4-7
It depends on you as well
3. Do you want to open a Kumon center??
I am not sure of the details of opening a center.

Thanks,
Punitha

If you are looking to open a Kumon Center, there is a ton of information if you google this. It is a franchise - see link that has some FAQ's about Kumon. The FAQ's talk about Kumon in North America - I am not sure about what is available in India.

HI,

I am Jithiks, from Glen Allen Virginia. I replied to this KUMON THREAD sometime back, but seems my reply is missing.
Wanted to give some information and tips abt KUMON.

I wanted to let you all know, that i have been sending my sons to Kumon for the past 7 yrs ( my first son) and 5 years (my second son). KUMON has been very helpful and really enriched my childrens education in both MATH and READING.

I am happy to share that both my children are placed in Advanced classes in their school. I completely owe my thanks to KUMON.

The students are given aptitude tests initially and placed in levels accordingly. There are 200 worksheets for each level ( they are repeated twice or thrice) depending on how the kids do it) Then at the end of each level, they are given a test and if they pass, they are issued a certificate too.
I can share more information in the further posts.

Also, I have seen the centers in many states like california,Florida and now in Virginia. The standard is the same but the fees will definitely differ from state to state.
Any more questions abt KUMON, you can pls direct them to me.

Thanks
Jithiks

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I haven’t a quite clear idea about Kumon, but I think beestar.org is also very good for kids. My daughter has been doing free math exercise on beestar, and she loves it very much. Since your kid is 3, may be you can have your kid try grade 1 exercises on beestar. There are 2 exercises separately of math, reading, etc. Hope that it helps you.[/font]
