Question 1

What is the Shichida Method?

Accepted Answer

The Shichida Method is a world-renowned approach to early years cognitive development backed by over 60 years of neuroscientific research. Designed for the critical zero-to-six developmental window, it uses rapid visual stimulus, photographic memory exercises, and multisensory play to activate whole-brain function—harmonising exceptional academic potential (IQ) with deep emotional intelligence (EQ).

Question 2

What age groups do you cater to?

Accepted Answer

We offer four tailored developmental stages designed to match your child’s specific milestone window: Stage 1: Infants (6 Months – 1 Year) — Focusing on sensory integration and early parent-child bonding. Stage 2: Toddlers (1 Year – 2 Years) — Tapping into photographic memory and rapid language acquisition. Stage 3: Preschool (2 Years – 4 Years) — Developing logical reasoning, concentration, and emotional regulation (“Education of the Heart”). Stage 4: Early Years Foundation (4 Years – 6 Years) — Fine-tuning advanced cognition, executive functioning, and primary school readiness.

Question 3

How long are the classes and how often do we attend?

Accepted Answer

Classes run for 60 minutes once a week. Every session includes over 20 fast-paced, dynamic activities designed to keep your child fully engaged while expanding their attention span without overstimulation.

Question 4

Do parents need to attend classes with their children?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Parent participation is a cornerstone of our philosophy. You will sit side-by-side with your child in every class, celebrating their achievements, strengthening your bond, and learning practical techniques you can easily use at home.

Question 5

What can I expect in a typical class?

Accepted Answer

You can expect an intimate, distraction-free environment led by a certified instructor. Every 60-minute session moves seamlessly through rapid-fire flashcards, memory recall games, fine motor tasks, spatial puzzles, and soothing heart-based exercises—keeping your child captivated from start to finish.

Question 6

How is the Shichida Method different from other early learning programs?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional nurseries or academic tutoring that focus solely on rote left-brain learning, Shichida balances both hemispheres of the brain. We prioritize rapid visual processing, photographic memory, and high EQ (empathy and confidence), ensuring your child becomes a happy, self-driven learner rather than just memorising facts.

Question 7

What are the main benefits for my child?

Accepted Answer

Parents consistently notice enhanced focus, rapid vocabulary expansion, advanced problem-solving abilities, and strong working memory in their children. Crucially, children also develop high emotional resilience, empathy, and a genuine love for learning that carries through into primary school and beyond.

Question 8

How small are the class sizes?

Accepted Answer

To ensure your child receives maximum individual care and guidance, we strictly cap our cohorts at a maximum of 6 children per class.

Question 9

Can we practice Shichida activities at home?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Because you attend every session alongside your child, you’ll naturally learn how to incorporate distraction-free memory games, positive affirmation, and multisensory play into your daily home routine.

Question 10

What if my child gets restless or doesn’t seem to respond right away?

Accepted Answer

This is completely normal! Every child processes input differently. Because our activities switch every two to three minutes, restless children quickly re-engage. Even when a child seems distracted, their subconscious mind absorbs the high-frequency information. Our instructors work closely with you to ensure a warm, pressure-free environment.

Question 11

What qualifications do your instructors have?

Accepted Answer

All Shichida UK instructors undergo rigorous, official training and certification directly aligned with Shichida Headquarters in Japan. They combine expertise in early childhood psychology with genuine warmth, ensuring every lesson is technically precise and emotionally nurturing.
