    My son has been with Shichida program since January 2022 when he was 2.5 years old. It is our third semester, and he is truly enjoyed and looking forward to the class every week. The design of program is quite comprehensive as it covers song singing, flash cards, various games, puzzles and learning in literacy and numeracy. The class activities make the learning process interesting and fun and it is an enjoy learning experience for both kids and parents. In class, children have been offered the chance to learn how to concentrate so as to complete a small task, learn to use their memory, learn to be creative and imaginative and be encouraged to participate in different activities. I do believe it will be a great experience for my little one to learn from play and start building up a good learning habit from an early age as well as improving his confidence throughout the program. We also want to specially thanks our current instructor Anna who is so passionate and make every class engaging and fun. We would highly recommend this program if you would like to have some extra curriculum activities for your kids.

    Ban Mieu is an amazing and dedicated teacher in Shichida Doncaster. We can’t thank her enough for her dedication and support to both my children in the class. Ban’s classroom management skills create a positive learning and positive classroom vibes. She demonstrates a remarkable ability to engage students actively and manages to have all students, especially young students who are at toddler age under control. You would know what I mean if you happened to have a toddler who is unable to pay full concentration in class and avoids chores at all time. She manages to draw students’ attention back to class and guide them (holding their tiny hands patiently and guiding them to draw or write) in their chores. Ban’s proactive communication with us as parents about my children’s progress and challenges shows her dedication to fostering a strong home-school partnership.

    My two children have been attending the Shichida program for many years now with my oldest graduating this year. They both enjoy engaging in the learning activities and I have seen significant improvement in their memory and academic applications. The teachers are wonderful. I definitely recommend!!

    Absolutely love this program! My daughter started at 1 year old and a bit. She loves coming to Shichida and been coming the past 3 years. I can see the way she processes information is very different from my older sons. She has great memory and also love the right amount of challenge which Shichida is able to provide her the stimulation. My sons always curious to know what their little sister is learning at Shichida. To be honest, I am regretted for didn’t let them continue the program when they started kinder. I’d recommend every parents to trust the program, stay through, and you won’t be disappointed of your investment. Highly recommend! Ps: Teacher Ban and JuWinn are worth mentioning. So grateful to have them this year. They are very dedicated teachers - teaching from hearts. Although we have our favourites, I must say the quality of teaching is impressively consistent which makes it easy for us, the parents to arrange make up class.

    My two boys have been attending Shichida since they were 1. My children find every class enjoyable. The teachers are so special and dedicated. It's been incredible to see their development and progress over the years and its mind blowing what young children are capable of. Above all else I love what the children are exposed to in terms of numeracy, literacy, science, problem solving and most of all developing their love of learning and curiosity.

    Thank you, Shichida Doncaster! We’ve been attending since L was 6months old, and is now 3+. We’ve often gotten comments on his memory skills, vocabulary, and logic, which I truly believe largely attributes to the education from Shichida. We have loved all our teachers, the staff are always welcoming and genuinely interested in our welfare. There is always clear communication, and I really appreciate that. The teacher make every effort to also educate the parents on the program and how we can help support and continue their learning out of the class. Thank you, for helping my star shine his brightest.

    My son has been attending Shichida classes since when he was 8 months old. We enjoyed all the classes together at the Doncaster campus with different teachers throughout the years. He is now a very confident child and doing really well at school/other activities. The most important thing is that he loves learning and he is a kind hearted person. We truly appreciate the Shichida program and we will be continuing classes until our son graduates in Grade 3 Primary school program!

    Ban, Marcelle, Sumaya and the Doncaster Shichida team are beyond exceptional. Their positive attitude, attention to detail and great level of enthusiasm each week is an example to us all when teaching our kids. Very thankful to have our kids learning from some of the best in preparation for primary school. Do yourself a big favour and enroll your child in this program 🫡🫶🏾.

    Unlocking Your Child's Full Potential with Shicida: A Journey of Discovery Introduction: In 2017, my cousin introduced me to the Shicida program. Like any new parent, I was skeptical about the financial commitment and long-term time investment. I couldn't find concrete scientific evidence to support its benefits. Despite my reservations, my wife and I decided to enroll our kids at the tender age of two. Although there weren't immediate noticeable changes, we held onto hope. The Turning Point: It wasn't until they reached the Prep Level and immersed themselves in music classes that we witnessed a remarkable transformation. Coming from an Asian background where music proficiency wasn't considered crucial, I marveled at how my children excelled in developing their hands-on skills and memorizing instruments, surpassing their peers. Mathematical Brilliance: From a mathematical perspective, I observed the lessons offered during classes profoundly impacting their problem-solving abilities. This proved invaluable, especially during the challenging times of COVID-19 when I personally guided them through their studies. The Shicida program had provided them with a solid foundation, making complex math challenges seem like child's play. The Shicida Difference: I've overheard parents contemplating whether to withdraw their children from the program, simply because they couldn't immediately see the benefits. What many fail to realize is the underlying concept of Shicida, a truth I discovered after delving into articles and connecting the dots. I wholeheartedly recommend reading Makoto Shicida's enlightening book, "The Mystery of The Right Brain." It unveils how the program nurtures the development of the right brain, a facet often overlooked in our left-brain-focused society and education system. A Journey of Memory and Creativity: Understanding how our brains function is key. Memory and creativity are the dual engines that power our experiences and problem-solving abilities. Shicida's methodology ingeniously enhances and expands both aspects. It's akin to giving wings to your child's imagination, letting them soar to new heights in their educational journey. Seize the Golden Time: Shicida is only available during a specific window of opportunity. Missing this critical period could mean missing out on unlocking your child's full potential. Once this window closes, there's no turning back. Don't let hesitation deprive your child of the extraordinary advantages Shicida offers. Conclusion: Our decision to enroll our children in the Shicida program has proven to be an investment beyond measure. Witnessing their growth and prowess in math and music has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. I implore fellow parents to consider the long-term benefits and seize this golden opportunity to nurture their child's memory and creativity. Embrace Shicida, and embark on a journey of boundless possibilities for your little ones.

    Curious about Shichida, we decided to try an introductory class for our daughter when she turned 2 years old. She enjoyed this class, we saw the potential of it and signed up for a term. We’ve now done 3 terms and we’ve noticed how much she benefits from it. Her focus, patience and memory continues to impress us. More importantly, she looks forward to every class, absolutely loves her teacher Marcelle, and the team at Doncaster are all super lovely. Even though it seems expensive, we’ve seen the results and will continue to keep up her classes for the next few years.

    Shichida is a fun and engaging program that instils a love of learning from a young age! My son has attended for 2 years now and we believe the program sets a great foundation for his future learning! He enjoys going every week, singing songs, playing many games and tactile activities and so much more! We have throughly enjoyed attending teacher Ban’s class, it’s always so fun and engaging and she really does put in a lot of effort and much enthusiasm into each lesson!

    We have been attending Shichida Doncaster for over 5 years now, starting when my oldest was a baby and we’ve enjoyed every moment and every class. Both my boys look forward to their class each week, which is a true testament to how fun the program is. The boys often burst out into songs learnt in class or re-enact games at home and now that my oldest has started school, we can really see the benefits the program has had on his learning journey. The teachers have a real love for teaching and the children, which can be easily seen from the interest they take in each child’s journey both in and out of the classroom. As a parent too, we’ve benefited from the time and advice they’ve given us to help our children. Even through COVID lockdowns, Shichida has remained a constant in our children’s lives via virtual classes and really shows how dedicated the teachers are. We believe the Shichida program has played a major part in developing our children’s confidence, excitement and curiosity for learning, which no doubt will stay with them throughout their lives. We love being part of the Shichida family!

    I have attended Shichida Doncaster for 6yrs now with my 2 children. It is a fun learning environment that both children enjoy without any pressure from their teachers to perform. They continually astound me with their attention to detail, even when at times they don’t appear to be listening/processing information. Problem solving, good memory and inquisitiveness are skills I attribute to their time at Shichida. All teachers, staff and the ambience at Shichida is wonderful, highly recommended

    My child has been with Shichida for several years now and he is still enjoying his weekly Shichida classes. We are currently with teacher Ban from Shichida Doncaster. My child looks forward to his Shichida lessons every week, including those of which he's done virtually. We are so grateful to have come across teacher Ban -- who we find to be impressively perceptive, experienced and stimulating. She is very organised and always does her very best to patiently cover as much as she could within that one hour session and she does not rush to end her lessons. We love that teacher Ban's teachings are ever consistent and that her lessons are always motivating and engaging. Thank you, teacher Ban! We were also with teacher Angie during our son's toddler ages and she was absolutely amazing. She is enthusiastic, positive and responsive. She is aware that every child is different and approach every child according to their individual needs. We also loved that teacher Angie is always calm and patient with her students. Thank you, teacher Angie!

    Shichida has given both my children a solid base for when they started school, and has continued to give them a broad knowledge of not just academics but also life skills like discipline and 'thinking outside the box'. I love the whole brain approach and the broad concepts that are introduced to the children over the different programs. It has given me as a parent, the foundation to teach them as well, and help them learn in the best possible way. Highly recommend the programs (both mine started at 6-8 months and are still doing the programs as primary aged children). The educators are friendly and supportive and great at making the classes fun and keeping the kids engaged.

    My son and I have taken the learning journey at Shichida for the last 5 years since he was 3 year old. We have enjoyed the fast paced and interactive classes with different subjects covered. It’s been a fun, exciting, and healthy learning environment for us. All of the educators have been attentive, encouraging, and supportive. I also appreciate the effort that Shichida has put in to maintain the same standard through online learning during COVID and to continue the flexibility with face to face and online class today.

    The Shichida method is fun for both the children and parents. We have been with the program now for 10 years with our eldest having started as a baby and completed the primary program. Our 2 younger children also started as babies and are still enjoying their weekly classes. We loved that in the earlier ages, parents and grandparents accompany the children and we learn lots of different ways to engage with the children in learning and apply the techniques to our play at home. Overall we believe that Shichida has given our children the skills to learn things very quickly and their memory recall is very good. Highly recommended.
