It is $120/mo. with a six month requirement and there is a registration/materials fee of about $125. It is PRICEY, but then I think about the fact that I don't pay tuition for school (we are in public school), so compared to paying $25K per year, it doesn't seem so bad. I figure it is worth it to stay for 6-12 mos. and get all the basics (if child isn't naturally inclined toward math) and then rely on school to teach the rest. Ideally, I'd like my child to be considered for the excellerated math program at school, but child will never qualify for that if s/he doesn't know the basic computation facts.

My philosophy is that I take public school for what it has to offer and I add to it where a child has needs. That's pretty cost effective.

You can stop Kumon anytime after the first 6 mos. Just depends on whether you have the money to continue or you want your child to move ahead of what is taught in school.

Is the $120 a month for both Math and Reading? Do you meet once a week or twice a week..
