With individualized study plans, let the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Lafayette provide the tools your child needs to give your child the advantage to achieve strong Math and Reading skills!

Students at the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Lafayette build essential study skills like concentration, develop a positive attitude towards learning and time-management through daily practice. As a program designed to advance students beyond grade level, it's the support at home that often makes a difference. Families that are committed to academics and students who commit to daily practice often find they can accomplish much more than they first believed. Kumon is a long term program and when students achieve a level of study above their grade level, they experience the academic advantage in school which allows them to enjoy learning. 

While Kumon does require a long-term commitment, within 6 months, you can expect to see signs of increasing test scores, more positive attitudes toward academics, and homework anxiety.
