The SHICHIDA Method
1. 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.
2. 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!
3. 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 products and toys can also be purchased to further supplement this course.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Is SHICHIDA at Home sufficient stimulation for my child?
We recommend signing up for SHICHIDA classes if you have access to a SHICHIDA Centre. In-person SHICHIDA classes are the most ideal form of experiencing the SHICHIDA program and are designed to complement the SHICHIDA at Home program.
7. When will I see the benefits of the program?
Every child is born with their own innate potential and will develop different skills and strengths at different rates. This cannot be predicted.
The SHICHIDA program works to draw out each child’s innate potential by placing them in a loving a pressure-free environment that focuses on the child’s connection to their parent and their enjoyment of lessons together. Children grow and improve easily and rapidly in their own time.
8. As a parent, what is expected of me in terms of participation?
The SHICHIDA Method of Education strongly believes in the engagement of parents in their child’s learning and development. Here at SHICHIDA, we work alongside the parent to guide their child through learning and life.
Research suggests that it is the connection and ongoing parental engagement in a child’s environment that is crucial to a child’s development and achievements. It is imperative that parents watch the videos and work on the workbook alongside their child for the best results.
