Kumon offers special summer hours

Kumon Math & Reading Center of Park City, located at 1680 W. Ute Blvd., Suite B, #2 at Kimball Junction, believes when school ends for the summer, the learning doesn’t have to end. To complement what children have learned with a method that is geared toward self-learning of math and reading, it is offering summer sessions from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The method is designed to give children the skills to grasp any concept on their own, with the knowledge and confidence to carry into the classroom and beyond.
