The main difference is that Kumon is a self-paced program that focuses on repetitive practice, while Mathnasium is a more personalized program that focuses on conceptual understanding.

Children can start Kumon as early as age 3. In math, children start counting objects and learning number sequence even before learning to write numbers, which provides a strong foundation for learning basic addition and subtraction. In reading, Kumon starts beginners with “look, listen and repeat” exercises.

Focus on Skill Building: Kumon helps students in developing problem-solving skills, calculation skills, and reading abilities. So if your child has a problem in math or wants to improve their skills in reading, then Kumon is a great option to consider.

Kumon students develop skills that will help them succeed in all aspects of life. They learn to think critically, solve problems, and work independently. They also develop a strong sense of confidence and self-esteem. These skills will stay with them long after they have finished the Kumon program.
