About Us.

JK in ActionThe Kumon Center of Howell has been helping children in the Howell area excel in reading and math for over 10 years. We moved to our current location in June of 2007. The center has been under new ownership since September of 2008.

Kumon offers a method of learning that provides individualized, self-paced instruction in math and reading.  Our goal for all children is to help them reach and exceed their school grade level.  We feel that the potential of children is limited only by our expectations and assumptions.  Kumon develops a child’s ability to think, learn, and concentrate.  It also encourages a child’s independence and perseverance.

Kumon has over 4 million students working in centers in Africa, Asia, North America, South America, the Middle East, Oceania and Europe.  It is the largest after-school program in the world.
