Irvine Kumon: COVID-19 Update
Despite the coronavirus outbreak, Irvine Kumon: Campus Center and Barranca Center both remain open and fully operational through 1:1 and 2:1 remote learning sessions and our new contact-free homework exchange system. We are offering daily homework, accompanied by online Zoom class sessions or in-person classes!
For the duration of the outbreak, both centers will be open Monday – Friday, from 9am to 5pm. These are not our usual hours, as Kumon is typically an after-school program—timed such that working parents could accompany their children to our centers.

Prospective Parents’ FAQ
Q: At what age can my child start at Irvine Kumon? How early is too early?
A: Many of the students at our centers started Kumon at the age of 3 – 3.5. However, we have accepted students as young as 2.5 years old. As soon as your child is potty trained and can understand basic directions, he or she is ready to join! The importance of prekindergarten education today cannot be overstated.
Q: Is every Kumon center the same? What’s special about these two centers?
A: No. Kumon is franchise-owned, so while all Kumon centers have the same educational materials, each center is owned, staffed, and operated differently!
The two Kumon centers owned by Janie Choi (Barranca and Campus) are longstanding bastions of excellence among the Kumon centers in Irvine. Janie Choi established the first Kumon center in Irvine on Barranca parkway back in 1990, providing over 30 years of educational service to the community. Then in 2004, Janie established the Campus center near UC Irvine.
We have witnessed and adapted to 30 years’ worth of evolution in educational policies, standardized testing, technology, and college admissions. Through it all, we’ve helped thousands of kids practice the skills they need to become better writers, readers, mathmeticians, and ultimately, better learners.

Q: How long will it be before I see results in my child’s progress?
A: Kumon is designed to be a long-term program. While your student’s confidence in math and reading will grow every day with practice, the greatest benefits of Kumon typically become apparent after one year. Every Irvine Kumon student will be able to advance beyond his or her grade level with patience and dedication. Like with sports and music, there is no such thing as a short-cut to success!
Q: How do I enroll my student at Irvine Kumon?
A: Use the form above to schedule a free one-to-one Zoom session with us for your Parent Orientation and Student Testing. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, prospective parents would join us for an in-person Parent Orientation and Student Testing at one of our centers.
