How often should we watch the SHICHIDA at Home videos and do the Workbook activities?
Set aside time at least once a week to watch a video and do the Workbook activities. The more frequently you use SHICHIDA at Home, the better and faster you will see results with your child.
There is no harm is using SHICHIDA at Home many times per week, but keep in mind that quality is more important than quantity. It’s important to make sure that your child is enjoying their learning time and SHICHIDA at Home’s effectiveness diminishes the less your child is engaged with the program.
The Shichida Method
What is the difference between Shichida at Home and a physical Shichida lesson?
Traditional classroom lessons are 50 minutes long while SHICHIDA at Home sessions last 15-20 minutes. All activities are based on the same method and values.
Are there physical copies of the flashcards?
Each video contains a short digital flashcard session. Unfortunately, we currently do not have sets of physical flashcards available for purchase from our website.
What is SHICHIDA at Home?
- SHICHIDA at Home is a condensed version of in-person SHICHIDA classes. While it is not a replacement for SHICHIDA classes, it is a good alternative for students and parents who are unable to attend an in-person SHICHIDA class.
The SHICHIDA at Home program takes key features of in-person SHICHIDA lessons and turns it into an online program that a parent can do at home with their child without much preparation or pre-knowledge of the SHICHIDA Method.
The SHICHIDA at Home program combines the research-backed age-appropriate curriculum of the SHICHIDA Method of early learning education with the flexibility and convenient interactivity of online learning.
What is the SHICHIDA Method?
- The SHICHIDA Method is an early learning pathway that originated in Japan. It was founded by award-winning author and Doctor of Education, Professor Makoto SHICHIDA, who also specialized in brain development throughout children’s formative years.
In face-to-face classes, the SHICHIDA Method of Education is delivered once a week, with each session lasting 50 minutes. The classes are educational, engaging, and fun while still preparing your child for school and developing a love of learning.
Our advanced early learning program develops the whole brain, which improves memory, language proficiency, an understanding of numeracy and literacy, critical thinking and so much more!
How does SHICHIDA at Home work?
- SHICHIDA at Home is a progressive and stimulating early education program designed to grow with your child. Parents can choose between a monthly or bi-annually recurring subscription program that includes SHICHIDA at Home Workbooks and a new age-specific video for every week you are subscribed!
- SHICHIDA at Home video lessons utilize songs and interactive activities to teach your child everything they need to succeed in their future learning, all while facilitating the parent-child bond and developing their innate love of learning. The SHICHIDA at Home workbooks offer a number of tactile activities that give your child hands-on practice in all the skils they learned while watching the videos.
SHICHIDA products and toys can also be purchased to further supplement this course.
Who created SHICHIDA at Home?
A team of passionate early childhood teachers from SHICHIDA Australia has worked closely with SHICHIDA Educational Institute Japan (SEI) to produce SHICHIDA at Home.
