Unlock Your Child’s Potential - Introducing The SHICHIDA Method

As parents, we want the best for our little ones - and one of the most powerful ways to ensure their learning success is by nurturing their brain development early on. We’ve just discovered The Shichida Method, developed by Dr. Makoto Shichida in Japan, and we think it’s pretty amazing! It’s a proven approach to enhancing your child’s cognitive abilities, creativity, and emotional intelligence from an early age. Never heard of it? Let us fill you in…

What is the SHICHIDA Method?

Designed for babies from 6 months onwards, SHICHIDA classes will help instill a love of learning and unlock the potential of your child. By using engaging activities that stimulate both sides of the brain, the method enhances skills such as memory, concentration, and creativity, stimulating the senses and fine motor skills development, setting the foundation for lifelong learning. And who doesn’t want their baby to have a head start?

Why Starting Early Matters

The first few years of a child’s life are critical for brain development. Early stimulation can accelerate cognitive functions, improve emotional intelligence, and help children develop a love for learning, helping with the transition as they start school. Did you know that by six months of age your baby’s brain has doubled in size, forming over a million new neural connections every second. With 90% of brain development happening before age five, imagine what your baby could be absorbing!

Professor Frank Oberklaid, director of the Centre for Community Child Health says, "If children are behind the eight ball when they start school, it’s too late. They spend the rest of their school years trying to catch up, and many never do. We know absolutely that learning starts at birth. The first five years before kids get to school are probably the most important years in terms of education."

Starting early with SHICHIDA provides:

• Faster learning and brain development
• Enhanced creativity and problem-solving skills
• Increased emotional intelligence and confidence
• Better academic performance later in life
