"When I was working as a center assistant at the local Kumon Center in college, I knew that I eventually wanted to open my own center, but also knew that I needed to get to a specific point in my life that would allow me to become a small business owner," said Kanani, owner and Instructor of Kumon Math and Reading Center of Clarks Summit. "That time is now and I couldn't be more excited to bring the Kumon Method to the community of Clarks Summit."

The Kumon Method empowers preschool to high school aged children to become self-learners and is designed to advance math and reading skills while fostering a love for learning. It goes beyond traditional tutoring by actively developing critical thinking skills as children progress independently through a carefully crafted curriculum.

"The closest Kumon Center to Clarks Summit was 60 miles away," said Kanani. "Some local parents were making that drive twice a week, but it became too much for them. I'm honored to fill a need in the community and look forward to providing students with the same opportunities that I had when I was their age."

Kumon sparks critical thinking, establishes a pattern of success and builds confidence that can lead to accelerated learning throughout life.
