FAQs: What is Shichida?

The Shichida Method is a scientifically backed whole brain learning program developed in Japan by Professor Makoto Shichida. It nurtures both IQ and EQ through memory, creativity, language, and motor skill activities. Unlike traditional early learning approaches, Shichida focuses on the Sensitive Period of development and uses right-brain techniques such as image training, flashcards, and speed training.

Shichida’s approach is based on stimulating both sides of a child’s brain through fun, high speed, multisensory activities. From infancy, children are exposed to a wide range of input — visual, auditory, tactile — that helps them build memory, focus, problem-solving skills, and emotional awareness. The method is structured, nurturing, and grounded in over 65 years of research.

The best time to start the Shichida Method is from as early as 6 months old. This is when the brain is developing rapidly, and learning happens most naturally. Shichida classes are designed to match your child’s developmental stage — from baby to primary school — making it the ideal early learning program to start during the most formative years.
