Kumon Crofton Ready To Reach Students

Kumon Crofton is ready to usher in students looking for an academic boost. New signage hangs above the storefront at 1117 Maryland Route 3 in the building.

The new educational center will help students who need a little extra help according to branch owner Jacquie Perdue.

“As a mother of two young children, AJ and Juliah, I used the Kumon supplemental activities and our children loved it,” Perdue in an email to Crofton Patch.

“After I researched the Kumon program I enrolled my own children in the program and have seen it work wonders on their math and reading comprehension skills, academic confidence and study skills as well,” she added.

Perdue said watching her children succeed made her aspire to help other youngsters. 

“I was so impressed with the program that I trained to become a Kumon Instructor myself and opened my own center. Although, there are excellent schools in Anne Arundel County, I felt there was a need for an enrichment program for parents with young children,” said Perdue. She said the Kumon methodology encourages a student to learn at his or her own pace.

“Our mission is simple, we want to make sure all the students in our service area have access to ‘A Dream Education,’” Perdue said in the email.

“At the Crofton Kumon we encourage and motivate our students and give them the tools to become an independent learners. The ability to think independently is one of the most important skills to be successful in advanced studies and in life,” she added.

“We are looking for candidates interested in working with children—those who enjoy helping children achieve academic success,” Perdue said in the email correspondence. The center is taking applications for Junior Kumon Assistants, Tutors and Graders.

Any interested applicant can apply online on the Kumon Crofton website www.aDreamEducation.com
