About

Shichida UK offers structured, multi-sensory developmental classes in Reading for babies and young children aged 6 months to 6 years. Built on more than 60 years of neurodevelopmental research and a method used with over 1 million children across 19 countries, our certified educators run fast-paced, parent-accompanied sessions. Lessons use interactive play, music, sensory engagement, high-speed visual input, sensory-integration games and spatial puzzles to strengthen cognitive growth, memory retention, early literacy, critical thinking and emotional connection. Classes are deliberately small — capped at a maximum of six children — to nurture intellectual ability and emotional resilience during those vital early years.

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.
