What age groups do you teach?

We teach babies and young children from 6 months to 6 years. The curriculum is designed as a whole-brain early learning programme to suit that developmental range.

What happens during a typical session?

Sessions are fast-paced and parent-accompanied, combining interactive play, music and sensory engagement with high-speed visual input. Activities include sensory integration games and spatial puzzles to stimulate memory and thinking.

How large are the classes?

Classes are intimate and capped at a maximum of six children to ensure focused attention. This smaller size helps educators tailor activities to each child’s needs.

What skills do children develop?

The programme supports cognitive growth, memory retention, early literacy and critical thinking while fostering emotional connection. It also aims to build foundations for photographic memory and problem-solving.

How is Shichida different from regular playgroups?

Unlike standard playgroups or movement-based sessions, the Shichida Method combines high-speed visual input, sensory integration games and spatial puzzles to nurture intellectual capability and emotional resilience. The approach is research-grounded and structured rather than free-form play.

Where are your classes held?

Classes are held in Reading, run as parent-accompanied sessions led by certified educators. They use a globally proven method backed by decades of neurodevelopmental research.

Shichida is an absolute must for any baby / child Imparting over 60 years plus of research of how to stimulate our daughter and maximise her potential thanks to Shichida. This programme has helped me better parent my child and do justice to the true potential that lies within. As a family we have evidenced this and encourage other families to enjoy doing the same

I signed up my daughter for Shichida in 2022. My daughter was 3 and speech delayed. She took some time to get used to the lessons and the new environment, but through the support of the staff and their teaching methods, she not only grew to enjoy the sessions, but gained confidence in her skills. I definitely accredit her excellent memory, love for mathematics and her attitude towards learning to Shichida and their unique ability to tailor learning to children of all developmental abilities. I would definitely recommend and advise parents to try for themselves. I recommend patience and consistency for the best results!

Shichida classes have really helped our daughter in developing her picture memory and speech. She started at 7 months, and enjoys coming to these classes. She already speaking over 100 words and numbers at 20 months. Shichida has great framework to suit the kids of all age. I would recommend these classes to every parent who are keen to support their mental development and learning capabilities.

Through fun based activities provided by Shichida program I can see the improvement on my child's concentration, confidence, memory and speech in the early age. I am glad that we attended the lessons together in the past 2 and half years that also helped us strengthen our parent-child relationship.
