We offer weekly parent-child enrichment classes for children from 6 months old, using activities that support memory, concentration, early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving and confidence.
Shichida Doncaster is not a government-funded kinder or kindergarten. Our classes support children through the baby, toddler and preschool years with structured early learning activities. Many families attend Shichida as a complement to childcare, kinder, kindergarten or home learning.
