Shakira started Kumon at the age of 3 and a half while Shakiel, a bit earlier, at 3 years old.

Maths at Kumon focus on the development of strong calculation skills and, designed to master calculation as the key to enabling students to later apply other Mathematical concepts. While English at Kumon provide strong reading comprehension skills not only for the study of English but also for accessing all other subjects in the school curriculum. The aim is to improve students’ reading comprehension, sentence structure and vocabulary skills. You can read more on Kumon at http://my.kumonglobal.com

Parents support are crucial. They play an important role in making sure the worksheets are completed daily. They also pay for the fee, ship their kids to and from Kumon, double checked all worksheets(...at least I do....), encourage them when they almost at a point of giving up...(oh no! you are not going to give up, after all the money I've spent..hehehe...joke only), be patient when they showed tantrum refusing to do the worksheet and so many others.....

So in conclusion, on the surface the medal is presented to the kids but in actual fact,....ITS MINE!, MINE!, MINE!, MINE!......hihihi. Nah just kidding. The credits mostly goes to the kids for their hard work. OK lah! its 50-50 credit.....
