What Is the Shichida Method?

The Shichida Method is a unique early childhood education approach developed in Japan by Professor Makoto Shichida.

Unlike traditional academic learning, the Shichida Method focuses on whole brain development, nurturing both the logical left brain and the intuitive right brain through engaging and stimulating activities.

During the early years, a child’s brain develops at an extraordinary pace. The Shichida Method takes advantage of this critical period by providing structured activities that stimulate learning, imagination and memory.

Each 50-minute weekly lesson includes a wide range of activities designed to engage young minds, such as:

  • Flashcards
  • Memory games
  • Imagery training
  • Music and rhythm activities
  • Logic puzzles
  • Parent-child bonding exercises

Through consistent exposure to these activities, children develop stronger concentration, curiosity and confidence.

The Golden Period of Learning

Research shows that the first six years of life are a critical period for brain development.

During this time, children naturally absorb information quickly and develop important learning habits that shape their future.

The Shichida Method focuses on nurturing children during this Golden Period, helping them build strong cognitive skills while also supporting emotional development, confidence and parent-child bonding.

Shichida is More Than Just a Class

Because the best way to support your child’s potential is to be part of the journey.

How Shichida Classes Work

Shichida classes are conducted once a week in small groups, creating a supportive environment where every child can participate actively.

Each lesson is:

  • 50 minutes long
  • Conducted in small groups of up to 6 children
  • Filled with 20 to 25 engaging activities
  • Designed to keep children stimulated, focused and excited about learning

Because each lesson builds on the previous one, regular attendance helps children develop stronger learning habits and confidence over time.

Why Families Choose Shichida

Parents choose Shichida because our program supports children beyond academic skills.

Through consistent weekly classes, children develop:

  • Strong memory and concentration
  • Creativity and imagination
  • Curiosity and love of learning
  • Confidence and emotional growth

Our classes also strengthen the bond between parent and child, which is a core part of the Shichida philosophy.

The Long-Term Impact of the Shichida Method

Many Shichida students continue to thrive as they grow.

Some have gone on to demonstrate exceptional memory skills, gain admission to selective schools, or receive academic scholarships.

While every child’s journey is unique, the strong foundations developed during the early years often support children’s confidence, curiosity and academic success later in life.
