ABOUT Easy Math for Kids
In the summer of 2010, Michael Hardock began teaching the Abacus program to young children in Uxbridge when he was still in high school. He received great recognition from parents who wanted their children to further their Abacus training. That was how the afterschool abacus program started in 2011 with the grand opening of a learning center in Uxbridge Ontario Canada. In March 2020, with the outbreak of COVID, Michael’s mom Annie pivoted the program online seeing the needs to help more students during the pandemic.
