baby sensory play and fine motor skills

Sensory Play

Hands-on sensory experiences that stimulate your baby’s developing brain. Textures, sounds and movements strengthen neural pathways while deepening the parent-child connection.

music song and rhythm for babies

Music, Song & Rhythm

Through Shichida songs and rhythmic play, babies begin recognising patterns, sounds and language flow. These interactions nurture early communication and listening skills.

flashcards for babies shown in a Shichida class

Flashcards for Babies

High-speed flashcards stimulate your baby’s photographic memory and visual recognition skills. This proven Shichida technique trains focus and lays the groundwork for fast learning.

teaching colour to babies

Colour Recognition

Babies explore colours through hands-on games, songs and sensory materials, building early visual discrimination and memory – skills essential for reading and thinking later on.

fine motor skills for babies pinch and pull

Fine Motor Skills

Activities like pinching, grasping and touching strengthen your baby’s small muscles, coordination and control – forming the foundation for self-feeding and independent play.

Phonics

Through Shichida guided play, babies begin to recognise tone, rhythm and speech. Early phonemic awareness lays the groundwork for natural language and literacy development.

What is the Shichida Method?

The Shichida Method is a research-tested whole-brain training program for children aged 6 months to 9 years old, leveraging the “Golden Period” of development. It uses fun, fast-paced, multisensory activities to nurture both IQ and EQ, building memory, literacy, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

FAQ: Baby Sensory Classes with Shichida

A baby sensory class is a parent-child program that gently stimulates your baby’s brain through music, movement, flashcards, and sensory activities. Shichida baby classes are designed to support development during the critical early learning period from 0 to 3 years.

Babies experience a variety of age-appropriate activities, including: 

  • Fine and gross motor coordination 
  • Memory and early numeracy skills 
  • Emotional awareness and communication 
  • Phonics and letter familiarity 
  • Colour, shape, and pattern recognition 
  • Sensory exploration across all five senses 

The first 1,000 days are critical for brain development, with millions of neural connections forming every second. Sensory classes build the foundation for future learning, confidence, and communication skills. 

Our classes are designed for babies aged 6 to 12 months, but earlier participation maximises brain development during the “Golden Period” from birth to age 3. 

Shichida baby classes are held at our Australian centres located across Melbourne and Sydney. Visit our locations page to find your nearest centre.

We go beyond basic sensory play, combining brain development techniques, cognitive and emotional skill-building, and parent-child interaction. Certified teachers guide you in activities rooted in decades of research. 

No. Shichida is not a childcare service. Our classes are educational sessions that you attend with your baby. They are designed to empower you with tools and activities to support your child’s brain development at home and beyond.

Yes. Parental involvement is essential to the Shichida Method. Parents learn how to guide their baby’s development through meaningful play and connection.

Each 50-minute session includes: 

  • Baby massage 
  • Sensory exploration 
  • Songs and movement 
  • Flashcard activities 
  • Memory and phonics play 
  • Quiet time and relaxation 

Babies participate in: 

  • Flashcards and songs combined with hands-on exercises for numeracy and language development 
  • Sensory exploration engaging all five senses 
  • Fine motor skills exercises such as placing objects in compartments, stringing, and paper folding (origami) 
  • Parent-led home activities to reinforce learning 

Bring your baby, nappy bag, water bottle, and a willingness to play and learn. All educational materials, flashcards, and props are provided. 

Our baby classes and learning programs are offered in 6 premium locations across VIC and NSW. See the list of locations for Shichida Early Learning centres here.

Baby classes strengthen social competence, numeracy, language, cognitive skills, emotional wellbeing, memory, and concentration. They also foster curiosity, observation, physical perception, and a love of learning, positively shaping your child’s growth, development, and future potential.
