Kumon is an after-school math and reading program for pre-school through high school students. Founded in Japan in 1958, the learning method uses a systematic approach that helps children develop a solid command of math and reading skills. Through daily practice and mastery of materials, students increase confidence, improve concentration and develop better study skills. Worldwide, there are 3.5 million students studying at more than 22,000 Kumon Centers in 43 countries. Rita Fisher has been with Kumon for two years. She was introduced to Kumon when she became a reading assistant at a center in Tampa, Florida. Impressed by the accomplishments of students in the program and their positive attitudes toward learning, Rita set out to bring the Kumon program to the children of Ithaca. With the support of her mother, who has seen her four children through their education; and her father, a teacher for many years, Rita opened Kumon of Ithaca in August of this year. There will be a "Grand Opening" open house on Saturday, October 18th from noon to four at the Ithaca center in Triphammer Mall. The public is invited to stop by with their children to learn more about the Kumon program.
