Shichida is not just an early learning program – it’s a structured, research-based method designed to support the whole child. We develop essential life skills and learning habits during the critical early years, laying a solid foundation for future success in school and beyond.
The Shichida Method is grounded in over 65 years of brain development research. Unlike traditional approaches that focus heavily on left-brain tasks such as memorisation and repetition, Shichida supports both hemispheres of the brain through a variety of age-appropriate activities. This whole-brain learning model strengthens memory, focus, creativity, and emotional awareness from infancy.
We teach children more than just numbers and letters. Shichida places strong emphasis on developing:
By engaging a child’s heart as well as their mind, we help bring out their full potential – both academically and emotionally.
We recognise that parents are a child’s first and most important teacher. The Shichida Method supports families by:
For over six decades, the Shichida Method has helped children around the world develop confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for learning. With centres across Melbourne and Sydney and a growing online program, the method is trusted by thousands of families who want the best start for their child. The Shichida Method is trusted by families worldwide and continues to support children in building essential skills for school and life.
While traditional early learning programs often focus on foundational academics, many do not actively develop memory, critical thinking, or emotional intelligence. The Shichida Method takes a whole-brain approach that integrates literacy and numeracy with advanced memory techniques, creative thinking, concentration, and empathy – offering a more complete foundation for lifelong learning.
The Shichida Method is designed for children aged 6 months to 9 years. Each program is tailored to match the developmental stage of the child, ensuring they are challenged and supported in age-appropriate ways from infancy through primary school.
Parents play an active role in every Shichida class. The method includes coaching and guidance for parents, so they can reinforce key learning activities at home. This shared approach strengthens the parent-child bond and maximises each child’s development.
Families often report improvements in memory, focus, confidence, emotional regulation and problem-solving skills. Many children also show early development in literacy and numeracy. The long-term goal is to equip children with the skills and mindset needed for lifelong learning and personal growth.
Yes. The Shichida Method is grounded in decades of neuroscience and early childhood brain development research. It focuses on stimulating both the left and right hemispheres of the brain during the Sensitive Period – when children are most receptive to learning.
