About Kumon of Palo Alto
Kumon of Palo Alto is the local center of the after-school math and reading program, at 2730 Middlefield Road in Midtown, near the area's shops and cafes. Kumon North America publishes the center's page, which names the local instructor who runs it and has a button to book a free assessment. The method is built on daily worksheet practice with guidance from the instructor. Students attend the center on set afternoons. In-center hours are limited to three afternoons a week, so families need to commit to fixed drop-off times. Hours can change around school holidays.
