Kumon Philippines, Inc. (KPI), one of the leading education franchises in the country and abroad, provides a rewarding career and profitable business to its Franchisee-Instructors.

The global business arena has seen strong franchises make their mark in their respective industries. As these enterprises show steady growth and expand overseas, they appeal to discerning local entrepreneurs who are on the lookout for profitable and worthwhile franchise opportunities.

In the field of education franchising, one of the most well-established franchises in the Philippines and across the world is Kumon. Kumon was able to establish its name in the franchise arena as they have provided and continue to provide top-notch and consistent support needed to build a rewarding career and profitable education business.

A leading franchise 

Before being one of the top global education franchises, Kumon began with its founder, Toru Kumon, a gifted math teacher, who hoped to improve his son’s math abilities, devising what is now distinctively known as the Kumon Method of Learning. He eventually sought to develop the potential of more children in a similar way, leading him to establish the first Kumon Center in Osaka, Japan, in 1958. 

Since then, the Kumon Method has evolved and grown with millions of Franchisee-Instructors in different regions of the world. The Kumon franchise now extends to 65 countries, including Australia, India, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Canada, Mexico, and more. Kumon reached the Philippines in 1996, where its franchise has grown with over 300 Kumon Centers across the country.

The Kumon Franchise advantage

Kumon Franchisee-Instructors are guaranteed support even before the start of operations, to the setting up of the business, until Centers are operational, and beyond.

Helping assure that franchisees can earn from their education business, Kumon provides a well-researched List of Open Areas, showing ideal locations with growth potential.

Would-be Kumon Franchisee-Instructors undergo hands-on training under Kumon Philippines, Inc.’s (KPI) Franchise arm to maintain the top-notch quality of the Kumon Method of Learning. The online training also includes business strategies for owning and operating a Kumon Center. The training is conducted online for the safety and convenience of prospective franchisees.

Thriving amidst the pandemic, KPI ensures the safety of its Franchisee-Instructors by providing hands-on online training on center management, instruction, and other continuous online learning opportunities.

Further ensuring the steady growth of Centers, Kumon Associates and Area Development Managers also provide consistent support in administering the Kumon Programs and managing the Centers.

While Kumon Franchisees can capitalize on Kumon being a successful global brand and a household name in the education business, KPI couples this by providing consistent and aggressive communication and marketing support.

The uniqueness of the Kumon Method itself makes the franchise a promising opportunity. Unlike competitors, whose services are seasonal, the demand for Kumon and its enrollment is year-round, and its programs are long-term. Students stay long-term as they improve and work through the program levels. This uniqueness poses financial stability, builds strong customer loyalty, and stirs a sense of fulfillment for the Franchisee-Instructor.

As a franchisor placing the highest respect for Kumon Instructors, the Kumon group enhances franchisees’ personal and professional growth and development by exposing them to different learning opportunities in the Philippines and abroad. They are given the opportunity to join continuing training, meetings, and seminars and build a network with Kumon franchisees from all over the globe.

Kumon continues to establish itself as the leading afterschool program and education franchise in the Philippines and abroad. The company’s steady growth can be attributed to its reputation in the industry and solid partnership with stakeholders, particularly its current and potential Franchisee-Instructors.

Franchising with Kumon provides support and an opportunity to be part and grow with a renowned global brand — all while helping children discover and develop their potential, which could empower them to reach their dreams and goals.

5 ways you can help your child learn about themselves

, , , ,
belleperez

Self-actualization is important for a child because they become confident to learn about others when they know themselves.

As an adult, you know the importance of self-actualization. You know what it is like to find the one thing you are talented in and how satisfying it is to work on something you enjoy. And as a parent, your child’s journey to self-actualization is now your adventure, too. After all, you want them to find their passion and make the most of what life has to offer them.

But you might be asking, ”How can I help my child on their journey to self-actualization?” Just remember that the answer is simple: Not alone. With your help, your child could be on his or her way without even realizing it.

1. Create a positive and curious environment

Allow and guide your child to be curious and exploratory of the world around them. Photo source: Envato Elements

Your child is likely still discovering different activities and disciplines that he or she could excel at. It would benefit your child to grow in an environment that allows exploration. Try not to discourage something just because it is not traditional, or because you do not understand it. Instead, encourage their adventurous spirit.

Know that this environment will be effective if your child sees that it applies to all family members— from parents and guardians to siblings.

2. When you see potential, encourage your child

Let your child feel your support in whatever activity or thing they may be interested in, no matter how big or small. Photo source: Envato Elements

While your child may show strength in something that you cannot help them with, it is still important that you show encouragement. When they draw or paint a picture, hang it up on the refrigerator. When they learn a new song, ask them to sing it and maybe even get them to teach you. When they finish their math exercise quickly, celebrate with them.

3. Establish authority

As parents, it is important to balance allowing your child certain liberties to grow while also teaching them to respect your authority as parents. Photo source: Envato Elements

While curiosity is important in your child’s self-actualization journey, he or she must not forget who the authority is. Put firm boundaries wherever needed, like limiting their screen time or asking for permission before taking things from the pantry, office space, or toy shelf. By establishing a level of authority, your child will understand that while he or she cannot act on their own accord, there is still a level of freedom that allows them to be themselves.

4. Offer acceptance

As young as they are, teach your child that they will not always be good at everything, but that does not mean that they should not try. Photo source: Envato Elements

No one is good at every single thing; each child has their own set of strengths and finds different things a little challenging. As much as you celebrate their successes, make sure they know that it is okay not to be great at everything they try. Providing and positively instilling your acceptance will help your child know that weaknesses need not be weaknesses; they are just avenues that can always be further developed.

5. Extend it beyond the family

There is no doubt that a stable, safe, and encouraging household can help a child in their journey to self-actualization, but a child’s growth is not limited to the walls of his or her home. So when it comes to considering the external environments you put your child in, attempt to always align with your values.Look into schools and after-school programs like Kumon that may help instill lessons and values that your child can take with him or her in their years beyond school. Work with environments that help foster independence, confidence, and curiosity.While self-actualization is a topic you do not hear too often, it does not mean you shy away from it. As a parent with a goal to develop his or her child, you can always explore ways to make sure that your little one grows up in an encouraging environment, both internal and external, that will allow them to achieve their full potential

As partners of parents in education, Kumon Philippines has made it its mission to help children grow in and outside the classroom while fostering the values that each student can take with them beyond school. Enroll in Kumon today to help your children be the best they can be.

4 Steps You Can Take Right Now To Set Up Your Child’s Future Success

, , , , , ,
belleperez

Give them the biggest chance to succeed

It’s only natural that parents want to give their child everything within their power—from sending them to the best schools to giving them a proper diet and being with them—to provide their child with the best chance at a holistically successful future.

But how can a parent help ensure this success without breaking the bank? Fortunately, there are investments to make that don’t have to be financially burdensome. Consider the following steps:

Encourage independence

It’s important for children to learn independence—in stages and at appropriate levels—early on in life. Start with the little things, such as prompting them to set up their study area, cleaning up after themselves, and asking them to list down their homework and projects in order of priority. These steps will not only instill the value of self-reliance but will also foster their natural curiosity.

Let your child learn from mistakes

Mistakes are a good way to learn, and your child will grow (in more ways than one) from making them. When your child is tasked with an activity or faced with a new lesson to apply, let them take it on their own. Give them the opportunity to explore what’s wrong and what’s right, watch the flicker in their eyes when they get the equation, experiment, or activity correctly. 

Develop life skills in and outside of your child’s syllabus 

While lessons taught in the formal education system are important, it’s equally important for your child to learn and understand how they apply outside the classroom as well. Make real-life examples of lessons, and don’t be afraid to add lessons into your child’s everyday life. This will not only add a layer of appreciation for what they learn, but will also enhance their academic abilities to go beyond standardized tests. 

Enrol your child in a learning  program

As a parent nothing is more worth it than seeing your child learn to read, write, and count on their own. Nothing beats the priceless feeling of seeing your child achieve all sorts of milestones in school and witnessing your little one slowly grow into the best version of his/herself.

That’s why you strive in your career—you want to invest in an after-school program that will partner with you in giving your child the bright future you have always dreamt for him/her, both in school and in life. 

Like millions of parents across the globe, letting your child study through the Kumon Method is a step you can take to help your child leap towards success. The Kumon Method of Learning encourages each child to develop independence, instills the value of application beyond the classroom, and gives them the opportunity to explore their true potential. 

To help you in preparing your child’s future success, Kumon Philippines is offering the Online New Student Promo MAX! Enroll until October 30, 2021 to avail of the FREE Diagnostic Test, FREE Registration Fee worth P500, and a FREE Kumon bag.

Why Knowing Children’s Current Academic Ability Can Help them Advance in School

, , , ,
belleperez

Let’s start at the very beginning

Throughout its history, one thing has become clear in the field of education: each student is unique. They have different talents, skills, and even learning styles. Some prefer learning through song, others by reading their books, while others learn best through their own first-hand experiences. This is why educators go the extra mile ideating different ways to present their lessons. 

Even parents like you, put on your creative hat to discover how your child learns best. But in order to do so, it is important to start at the very beginning—finding out your child’s current abilities.  If you’re wondering why, here are a few reasons: 

It gives you a clear look at your child’s strengths (first).

In the best way possible, learning where your child’s current academic abilities lie can help you determine what their strengths are. There are multiple disciplines in education that each deserves your attention. Does your child pick up equations quickly? Does he tend to reach out for storybooks over colored markers? Is she more inclined to work with paper and pencil than learn from other learning tools? 

When you see where your child shines, you’re able to pick up and hone the innate strengths that he or she already has. 

It creates a good foundation.

When your child studies topics and lessons that match their current skill sets, they become more confident in answering their exercises and exams. Sooner rather than later, they learn that they can be more independent in their studies. It becomes clear that one set of lessons becomes the building blocks for another. 

Once this foundation and understanding are set, your child will have enough confidence to tackle things on their own. They’ll be able to study with little guidance and will satisfy their own curiosities. When you know your child’s current academic ability, you are giving them the proper opportunity to build on it. 

It gives you a good look at where your child is.

Most education systems follow a national curriculum set for the school year. Each grade level is given a certain set of lessons to learn and teachers are given topics that need to be taught. 

To supplement your child’s learning in school and truly expand his or her academic ability, consider after-school programs that can enrich their overall learning experience. This means exploring ways that will help them master their lessons, while also nourishing the values of confidence and independence. 

It allows you to help your child move forward.

When you, your child, and his or her educators know where to begin, you all know where to go—and, perhaps more importantly, you will all know how to get there. With this common goal in mind, students have the support system they need in order to advance further and become avid learners. 

As the song goes, the beginning is a very good place to start, which is why it’s so important to take the time with your child to take proper diagnostic tests, and have an open mind to whatever the results may be. It is with these types of tests that your child and anyone involved with his or her education can work together to improve and widen his or her knowledge. 

And with the new school just getting started, now is the perfect time to learn where your child is academically and how he or she can discover other skills and abilities. Amidst the pandemic, there are after-school programs that conduct online diagnostic tests while you and your child stay safely at home.  

Grab the opportunity to learn about your child’s current academic skills and abilities and how to develop them for FREE through Kumon’s Online New Student Promo (ONSP) MAX! Avail of this promo from September 21-October 31, 2021 to enjoy FREE Diagnostic Test, FREE registration fee worth P500, and FREE Kumon Bag.

4 steps to starting a business built on education

, , , , ,
belleperez

Start your business and join a community

The last several months have shuffled everyone’s priorities and have made us all focus on the necessities. But despite the world being turned inside-out, education has stayed at the forefront of everyone’s minds. Before we found our preferred online delivery services, we made sure that students had the right tools to continue their studies. Before we longed for restaurants, malls and travel, we first ensured that learning did not stop.

For this reason alone, it’s no surprise that the education sector has continued to thrive. And if you’re one of those people that have considered getting into the business, here are some initial steps you need to take:

  1. Look at the market

The question you need to first ask is, “Is there an open opportunity that I can take here?” And also, “Are the needs I’m servicing for the long haul and are they actionable?”

If the answer is yes, then you’re on the right track. And when it comes to making education a business, our experiences have proven that education is a service that can be catered to humanity’s collective situation—whether on-ground, remote, or in intimate, less crowded settings.

  1. Assess your own expertise

It’s no secret that even the world’s leading entrepreneurs need help in handling the different facets of their businesses, and you are just the same.

Before you make the dive into starting your business, take a look at yourself and consider where you thrive. Think about whether you’d prefer to stay behind the scenes or at the forefront of all the action. Try to decide whether you can handle the organization and logistical responsibilities. Examine your history to see which part of education leaves you feeling most fulfilled.

Assessing your expertise will not only place you in the right corner of your business, it will show you where your weaker points are, too—which then point you in the right direction when you’re looking for others to help you out.

  1. Decide on your mission

Nothing will take you further in business and in life than having a purpose and a mission to fulfill. This might be as simple as expanding your personal goals of educating children into having a fully-fledged education program that helps nurture students’ skills under your belt. At the same time, it could simply be about offering and giving the youth the best possible chance at succeeding inside and outside their classroom, during and after their formative educational years.

  1. Look for a partner

Building something from the ground up is a respectable endeavour. But by looking into and partnering up with a trusted and established educational program, you are getting an added value into your business. You are having a stronger foothold in the market through extra brain power during major decision-making, additional set of hands for the groundwork, and new pair of eyes that will help you look at things from a fresh, professional perspective.

When you know what you want, you’ll know what to do. And with several options ready for your consideration, the monumental task of starting your own educational business becomes a little more attainable.

Why Now Is the Best Time To Enroll Your Child In After-School Learning Programs

, , , ,
belleperez
While students have since begun to adapt to online learning, there’s no denying the fact that they’re more prone to distractions for the better part of the year. After all, being at home, within reach of toys, games, and other activities, is likely to get in the way of learning.

Fortunately, there’s one sure way to curb the distractions and keep your child’s focus on their learning: after-school learning programs. If you haven’t tried it yourself or are still hesitant to try it, here are a few things that just might convince you to give it a go.

1. Keep them busy

With less face time with friends, teachers, and extended family, it can get difficult to fill in the hours of a child’s day. School may keep them busy for the first few hours, but what’s there for them to do for the rest of the day? Unless you’re able to give your child activities, it’s likely that they’ll end up spending hours in front of the television or a gadget.

The good thing is that after-school learning programs give your child the chance to fill their hours with more challenging tasks that allow the practice of lessons or help them understand more difficult concepts.

2. Keep them sharp

While children used to have the opportunity to converse with classmates about lessons between and after classes, that sense of community is hard to replicate in remote learning. By enrolling in supplemental learning sessions, your child will have the opportunity to practice what they have learned in school and even learn new and advanced topics.

3. Make learning more fun

While schools tend to treat students relatively the same, you and your child can choose an after-school program that’s more suited to their tastes and preferences. This option gives the opportunity for learning to be more fun, and therefore more optimal, for your child.

4. Reinforce values

After-school programs are designed to guide your child as they accomplish worksheets and activities, and to provide guidance and motivation as needed. In this way, your child is reinforced with the values of independence, perseverance, and self-learning. Not only are these values pivotal in a child’s academic performance, they are also building blocks on which they will eventually develop life skills outside of the classroom.

5. Build self-confidence

For children who have a hard time learning in the classroom and tend to feel anxious in front of their peers, after-school programs may be the breath of fresh air that they need to truly focus and absorb their lessons.

As your child begins at a level that they’re comfortable with, make it a point to let them know that there’s no pressure to keep up or compete with peers. At the same time, once your child does move forward from one after-school lesson to another, they’ll be able to apply what they have learned to and beyond the standard classroom.

After-school learning programs provide several benefits to students and their parents. And with remote learning becoming the norm for the foreseeable future, enrolling your child in a supplementary program might just be the key that will help keep your child on track with their studies.

Kumon Philippines is celebrating 25 years of holistic learning, having built and nurtured students for years. Now is the best time to enroll your child as you can now get 25% OFF on tuition fees. Visit their website to enroll.

25 years of nurturing ​Filipinos’ love for learning

, , , ,
belleperez

Like most great ideas, this educational program began because parents saw a need for their child and addressed it.

In 1954, a second-grade elementary student named Takeshi Kumon brought home a math test that worried his mother, Teiko Kumon. Teiko then spoke to her husband, Toru Kumon, who happened to be a high school math teacher. To address their son’s problem, Toru began making practice math problems on paper for Takeshi to answer on his own.

With his experience as a teacher and after much trial and error, Toru found the optimal way for his son to learn and practice his lessons—lessons he knew would be used throughout his son’s entire educational journey. These personal worksheets later became the prototype for today’s Kumon worksheets.

Kumon arrives in the Philippines

It was in 1996 when an affiliate company of the Kumon Institute of Education (KIE) officially reached Manila. Kumon Philippines has since expanded its roots in the Philippines, with more than 300 Learning Centers and guiding over 50,000 students through the Kumon Method.

Along with its growing numbers, Kumon Philippines has also experienced several ceremonial wins. Recognizing its efficiency and success, Entrepreneur Philippines awarded Kumon Philippines as one of the Top 15 Fastest Growing Franchising Companies in the Philippines, the Top 5 Outstanding Franchising Companies in the Philippines, and Best in Franchise Support.

The True Testimony of Success

Kumon Philippines alumna Trassandra Jewelle R. Ipapo once penned a testimony of her journey. Here, she talks about the thrill she experienced at the Center, as she enjoyed answering her worksheets and got great scores as a result. But as she advanced to higher levels, she admits reaching a difficult point. With support from her parents, relatives, and teachers, Ipapo eventually pushed through.

Kumon Achiever Trassandra Jewelle Ipapo shares how the program helped her in school and opened new opportunities for her. Photo Source: Kumon

Ipapo attests to how Kumon helped her succeed. ”I realized that Kumon gave me the skills I needed to overcome the challenges I faced,” she says. ”Aside from helping me in school, Kumon also opened up many new opportunities for me.”

It was through constant practice and in the learning environment fostered by her Kumon community that allowed Ipapo to thrive, helping her become a full scholar during her senior high school and college years. ”All these would not have been possible had I not taken the Kumon program,” she testifies.

But more than her academic achievements, Ipapo and other Kumon Completers hold the values of perseverance, commitment, independence, and confidence—each one nurtured and strengthened within their own Centers. ”Because of Kumon, not only was I able to become the best version of myself, but I pushed myself to the limits of who I am meant to be.”

Kumon humbly began almost seven decades ago, and Toru Kumon’s original goal of helping his son master academic skills is now being practiced by four million students in over 50 different countries. The Kumon Method has been tried and tested and has provided adults around the globe with the foundation and values they need to reach success—and is continuing to do so for its current roster of young minds.

Kumon Philippines is celebrating 25 years of success in nurturing the love for learning. In celebration of this milestone, they are offering 25% off on tuition fees for new students and those enrolling in a second subject. Visit their website to learn more.

Why You Should Invest In Your Passion For Teaching

, , , , ,
belleperez

Don’t lose it; hone it

We all have a shared passion for teaching. It might not always be about the same topics or themes, but each of us has an innate calling to help who we can and pass on what we know. And if your passion is specific to the classroom and giving kids the opportunity to reach their full potential, this is the sign you might be waiting for to pursue it. 

Let nothing stop you, least of all yourself. But in case you need a little more convincing in a world that might have pushed you to go into law or medicine, here’s why you can and should pursue your passion for teaching:

  • It’s called a passion for a reason

When you decide to follow your passion, you’re giving yourself the opportunity to feel fulfilled at the end of every tiring day. You’re giving yourself the chance to follow your purpose with the knowledge that what you’re doing is exactly what you need to be doing. Following your calling to teach is saying yes to yourself and ensuring that there are no regrets. 

  • Education is a necessity—there will always be a demand for it

If the last year in lockdown has taught us anything, it’s this: there are few necessities we cannot go without, and one of them is education. Because while some stores closed shop entirely, schools world-over had to quickly adapt to remote learning in order to service a demand that never went away. 

It was a challenge educators unsurprisingly rose to, and it proved that education will always be important and something that millions will continue to look for. 

  • It’s a long-term commitment with longer-term benefits

Teaching is not a one-stop career; it’s a long-term commitment that will require hours of your days and years of your life. You will meet countless students, parents, and co-teachers along the way—and you will benefit from these interactions as much as they will benefit from you. 

Just think about the first time you learned to solve an equation or learned about the history of your people. Think about the lessons, in and outside the classroom, that have stayed with you throughout the years and helped shape you as a person. This is the real deal: your passion for teaching will go beyond books and a carefully planned activity. Your commitment to teaching will reap benefits long after the syllabus is finished. 

  • It’s a constant challenge 

The great thing about human intelligence is that it never stops evolving. Every day, something new is being discovered, and new solutions are being carried out. In this way, pursuing a career in education will keep you on your toes. 

While you challenge your students to finish their worksheets and activities, they will challenge you to think outside the box as they do, just as the rest of the world will challenge you to constantly learn more yourself. 

  • There are different avenues to explore

More often than not, the hesitation in exploring a teaching career lies in a misunderstanding. Because while lesson plans and classrooms are a definite prerequisite, that isn’t all it’s about. 

Pursuing your passion for teaching could very well mean owning your own education center one day, which would allow you to really help children and young adults form and hone the skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives. And as a bonus, it also gives you the opportunity to create a community for like-minded individuals with the same passions as you. 

If you’re doubting why you should invest in your passion for teaching, the quick answer is that it’s not only an investment in yourself, it’s an investment in the children whose minds and hearts you’ll be touching, in a future you hope to give them and yourself. It’s a purpose that will continue to give you purpose. 

Kumon Philippines invites you to fuel your passion and your commitment to nourishing children’s development and growth. To know more about how you can open your own Kumon centers and become a franchisee, click here.

5 Proven Ways To Unlock Your Child’s Academic Potential

, , , , , ,
belleperez

Allow them to discover all they have to offer

It’s been discovered that there are many ways to unlock a child’s academic and intellectual potential—but through it all, there have been tried and tested methods that stood the test of time.

So when it comes to unlocking your child’s capabilities, remember that while there are no shortcuts, there are some pointers to take note of:

1. Discover their optimal learning style

Understand that education and learning do not come in a one-size-fits-all package. Some students absorb information best through reading and discussion, while others prefer visualization, hands-on application, or simple repetition—and this might change throughout their academic careers. When you’ve found that optimal learning style for your child, don’t run from it or enforce your own discovered methods. Give them the best and most efficient way to learn on their own terms.

2. Help them stay organized—and on track

It’s no secret that children can sometimes get disorganized with their toys, games, and even schoolwork. This sometimes puts them in a less-than-desired headspace. So when it comes to their education, help them stay organized and focused.

This might be as simple as setting up a dedicated learning space where homework, study sessions, and online classes can be done. Sometimes, it’s a matter of helping them arrange their books, notebooks, and supplies so they know where to look once the need for them arises. Keeping their things in an orderly space will ensure less literal and mental clutter.

3. Keep the conversation lines open

When it comes to your child, having conversations are important. Whether they are to voice out their concerns or want to share their wins, try to match their energy and be open to what they have to say. In this way, they will feel confident enough to reach out when they are having difficulties, as well as know their efforts are being appreciated.

4. Encourage them to explore and pursue the subjects they are interested in

When your child shows enthusiasm in a particular subject or activity, provide them with additional motivation and encourage them to pursue it inside and outside the classroom setting. Give them additional reading materials, allow them to conduct experiments, and help them find supplementary videos that they can view and learn from at their own time.

Throughout the learning process, your child will discover his or her own interests, and leveraging on this excitement makes the learning process easier and more rewarding for them.

5. Enroll them in after-school learning programs

Another key to unlocking your child’s academic potential is to enroll them in after-school learning programs. These supplementary programs help develop their talents and academic skills and abilities. It also enables them to truly understand their lessons and practice what they’ve learned in an environment that is conducive to their studies.

After-school programs are, after all, designed to ensure that children fully grasp the messages of their lessons and that they can practice the same to the point of it becoming second nature to them. Moreover, after-school programs are catered specifically to a child’s current skills and abilities, and activities are designed to hone and expand current knowledge, as well as build character. 

In this day and age, unlocking your child’s full academic potential allows them to open doors that would have otherwise been more challenging to walk through. While they’re young, it is the time to ensure they have the right academic roots to build on and have a firm grasp of subjects that will place them on an advantageous starting point. There are no shortcuts when it comes to seeking ways to explore your child’s full capacities.
