Kumon will be offering for free its Math and Reading Programs in all its centers nationwide on September 17-30, 2009 to allow more Filipino children and their parents to experience the benefits of the widely-recognized Kumon method.
The free trial campaign allows interested students to go through the same learning routine as regular Kumon students. Participants under the free trial campaign will attend four class days and receive daily worksheets at no cost.
According to Kumon Philippines president Mr. Norihiro Nakamura, “With these free trials, Kumon aims to provide parents a clearer picture of what we can do to help maximize their children’s capabilities. More than an organization that assists children with their academics, we also hope to equip the country’s next generation of leaders with Life Skills that will allow them to contribute positively to the community.”
Prior to their children attending the free trial lessons in the nearest Kumon center, parents will be taken through a scheduled orientation to help them gain a thorough understanding of the Kumon method and its benefits. Children will then be given a diagnostic test to allow instructors to gauge the participating kids’ specific starting point under the Kumon program. This way, the children can begin their Kumon experience comfortably and confidently.
After taking the diagnostic exam, the children may already be enrolled for the trial. Kumon instructors will recommend the appropriate learning program based on the child’s readiness level.
Interested parties can visit their nearest Kumon center or call the Kumon head office at (02) 885 0226 or 1-800-1-888-0231 (toll-free outside Metro Manila) to inquire about the Free Trial Campaign. To find out where the nearest Kumon center is, they can also log on to Kumon Philippines’ website (http://ph.kumonglobal.com).
About Kumon

Last Saturday, August 15th was a great day for the Iloilo Bloggers! As most of you have already heard, the core members of the Iloilo Bloggers met for lunch last Saturday at Fort San Pedro Restaurant. We finally got to meet other Ilonggo bloggers offline and they are actually more interesting in person! Of course as usual Junelle, Claire, Marcos, Mary Jane, Junnjun and Efren were present. Antoine Greg also attended as well as some of Junnjun’s photographer friends, one of them is Ronald Medina whom we recruited to become a member of the Iloilo Bloggers too.
After having our delicious lunch we discussed the future of our group and elected our officers. Our main goal is to make the Iloilo Bloggers an active group and to recruit more members as well. When we have more members and become an active group, we will be able to promote Iloilo not only locally but also in the interwebs. We will be able to uplift Iloilo’s reputation online and offline. It is also our mission to promote blogging here in Iloilo and to make it known that bloggers are opinionated people who should be taken seriously.
We also made plans to organize events in the future. We might get involved in Iloilo’s IT Week this coming September. And there are also plans of having Miss Janette Toral and Aileen Apolo to come visit Iloilo to meet with the local bloggers. We are also looking into registering our group with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit organization so we could have IDs made for every member. We have also talked about organizing blogging workshops and outreach programs.
We are looking for sponsors for our future events and for the printing of the Iloilo Bloggers t-shirt for the members who still don’t have them yet. Take note that all of this are just plans and we need the help of every Iloilo Bloggers member to put this plans into action. We need everyone’s cooperation so please attend out next meet-up guys! We will have 2 meet-ups every month and the next meet-up will be on September 5, 4PM at JD – Emilion (near San Ag). See you then!
The list of officers can be found here.
