We chose Shichida based on a friend's recommendation, highlighting the program's benefits for her daughter. Our daughters began at six months old, and we've been pleased with their progress.

 

Shichida emphasizes memory training and offers a comprehensive curriculum covering fine motor skills, letter recognition, phonics, math concepts and sequencing, providing a solid foundation. Our girls have developed strong memory skills and keen observation, thanks to the engaging teaching methods. The program also teaches children to sit in a classroom setting, helping them transition smoothly into pre-nursery class and encouraging focus during lessons. Overall, we are grateful for the positive impact Shichida has had on our daughters' development.

We discovered Shichida through the positive experiences shared by friends whose children had thrived in the program since 1 year old. Impressed by the range of activities, particularly the phonic songs and picture memorization, we've seen significant acceleration in our son Chace's English language and memory skills.

Shichida differentiates itself with its unique approach, focusing on unlocking children's potential through tailored programs that emphasize memory, English pronunciation and mathematical techniques. The small class sizes ensure effective teaching by patient and experienced English-speaking instructors.

Chace has shown remarkable improvement in his English, mathematics and memorization abilities. More importantly, he has grown into a confident child eager to explore topics such as the solar system, dinosaurs and transportation.

Theo has been attending Shichida since he was 1 year old. We initially chose Shichida because we had heard positive things about it, such as its ability to improve concentration and memory. After attending for nearly 1.5 years, we feel it has benefited Theo a lot. We've noticed that Theo is very advanced in his memory skills. He can recite over 300 animals, recognize A-Z and their letter sounds, and easily recall and repeat information. He can also memorize the spelling of words, count between 1 to 100, and could read independently before turning the age of 2. We believe these achievements can be attributed to the memory games and challenges at Shichida. Most importantly, Theo enjoys the class and has become more outgoing. He loves the phonics songs and always looks forward to Shichida classes. As parents, nothing is more important than seeing our child happy, and we have no regrets about sending him to Shichida.

Toddlers are like sponges, and we never underestimate their ability to learn. We chose the Shichida method because it focuses on right-brain training and the class activities are interactive. Teachers encourage the children to take risks, allowing them to learn from trial and error. The activities cater to children's sensitive periods, with fine motor skills for ages 2-3 and interspace training for ages 4-6. We witnessed positive outcomes from Ianthe's adoption of the Shichida method. Ianthe joined at 1, crying initially, but now at 4 she has demonstrated excellent memory skills, complementing her school learning. Ianthe has her own way of memorizing and readily presenting the knowledge. We are proud of Ianthe's performance, especially in memory, from her participation in the Shichida program's interactive, age-appropriate activities.

Kaydence has always been showing her interests in exploring, reading, and singing. Other than her daily routine on her preferred activities of the above categories, shichida provides more useful learning materials that she enjoys and as well improving her knowledge of her surroundings, memory and spelling. These definitely help to strengthen her foundation of her learning in future. We appreciate to have Miss Joanna with us who are truly passionate about teaching. She develops a good relationship with Kaydence and have her pay attention and enjoy her every moment in class.

I chose Shichida based on a friend's recommendation, and it has exceeded my expectations. The teachers and staff at the centre create a warm and welcoming environment. The activities are engaging and fast-paced, keeping my son fascinated through-out the whole class. Out of all the activities, the story linking technique is my favorite, fostering imagination and aiding memory. My son's memory and imagination have greatly improved because of this. I am super impressed by how he can memorize poems within two weeks. I wholeheartedly believe in the Shichida method and would highly recommend it.

Chloe Chan, 2 years and 8 months old

Our children, Clovis and Chloe, have been attending Shichida for 4 and 1 year respectively. We chose Shichida because we believe Shichida has a positive influence on brain development. The program focuses on teaching children how to learn during their early years, which we think is crucial for their future learning journey. As our children progressed through the program, we witnessed how they are able to process information quickly and their memory skills thrive, convincing us of its effectiveness. Shichida's curriculum is meticulously tailored for each age group, aligning with children's development. This ensures that children receive appropriate learning experiences and challenges at every stage. As our children advanced through the program, their skills naturally built upon one another, creating a solid foundation, fostering a deep understanding of concepts and developing a love for learning. We love and thank all the teachers and staff at Shichida.

Our daughter Madison thoroughly enjoys each Shichida class. Her love for learning has only increased and we’ve seen great progress across the board - fine motor skills, memory, focus, pattern recognition, alphabet, numbers, etc. Even from Madison’s first few classes, we were amazed that she was able to sit and focus for a full 50 minutes - in a way she wasn’t able to at other learning centres. It speaks to the unique class format, environment, and content that Shichida has painstakingly created. But what really sets Shichida apart from other early education centres are the teachers. They’re excellent. They carefully manage a classroom with small children and at the same time bring content to life in a fun and engaging way. Big thanks to all of the teachers and support team that help make Shichida such a wonderful experience. We couldn’t be more happy.

We chose the Shichida method for our boys, Oliver and Alexander, because we believe the lessons can help unlock their full potential. We have seen several positive changes in both boys since they started attending the program. They both seem to have improved their memory skills, which we've found to be one of the key focal points of the program. We have also noticed that they have become more imaginative and creative during play time, and they have also become much stronger with their problem-solving, which we believe to be related to the program's emphasis on right-brain development. We appreciate the materials and exercises Shichida provides us to do at home, which helps us to reinforce what they're learning in the center. The teachers are also great at making the activities engaging and enjoyable for the children, while also stimulating their cognitive and creative abilities. Overall, we're very happy with the activities and materials provided by Shichida.

As parents, we chose Shichida after extensively researching all of the options for right brain early childhood education and found that the differentiating factors, highlighting Shichida, were clear and important.  Namely, a stable teaching core, with no staff turnover since we arrived and who are all highly trained, very competent and take an individual interest and approach to the children, and secondly, the smaller class size at Shichida makes for less distractions and a higher absorption rate of the information being taught and an overall more enjoyable experience.

Our daughter began attending the once per week English-only class and was so excited by the school and inspired by the classes that she in now attending the English/Mandarin two days per week program and still thrilled to be there each and every class.  She is also attending a Montessori based playgroup three times a week and the difference in her excitement level when attending Shichida classes is obvious.

Based on our own research, we understand fully the latest research-based developments in early childhood education and the importance of brain stimulation in babies, from newborn to three years old, in building those neural transmission pathways that will be utilized over a lifetime.  Shichida is playing a vital role in helping our family to to deliver the best education possible to our daughter in these early years.

We first came to learn about the Shichida from a book that I read in a bookshop, and the more I read about the Shichida methodology to enhance brain power, the more I believed about the benefits and positive influence of early teaching for my kids.
 
The fun and creative imaginary make-up story to link up all those pictures (totally unrelated at times) was definitely one of the most creative and enjoyable activities that my son and I participated in, and the riddles games was also something we have always enjoyed.
 
The key differences are the pace and the levels of the teaching materials, which are a lot more advanced than other centres or even kindergartens at the same age group, and it is this very reason we decided to join Shichida in the first place as we want to foster his desire for knowledge.

One major improvement that we noticed is his self-belief and willingness to make choices based on his intuition and gut feeling which is something he would never tried before he joined Shichida.

The teaching style at Shichida is different to other learning centres as they focus on development of the right brain abilities. If children are taught using the Shichida methodology at a younger age this will strengthen their right brain abilities including memorization and critical thinking.
 
Personally I enjoy the Chi Cha activity the most, this game helps the child to practise memorization and can give the child a sense of accomplishment.
 
The Shichida methodology adopts an interactive style of teaching as opposed to spoon-feeding information to children.  The classes allow children to learn in a comfortable and relaxed environment.  The classes cover a broad range of topics and skills which can help a child (whose brain is still developing) to practice their memorization skills, critical thinking, logical thinking, train their motor skills and teach them English as well. The activities available at Shichida let the children grow their skills in a happy and fun environment.

What really attracted me to choose Shichida is their very unique course. The course design and focus are on both the left and the right brain development. This is something which I have not been able to find, especially with such a high level of quality, in Hong Kong.
 
Each class activity is unique and special. The memory training session, especially the linking method story, is the activity that I enjoy the most. My daughter not only enjoys the story itself, but she also feels proud for picking the correct cards. I am mostly impressed & I feel amazed by how much they can remember as it’s not easy to remember 15 cards in such a short time.
 
Teachers here are professional, patient, and put in a lot of effort to prepare for each class. Reports from teachers are always helpful because they take great care in praising each child’s strengths as well as identifying areas for improvement and provide ongoing support and assistance to help each child reach their potential.

The class content covers a wide range of skills, including flash card memory, photographic memory, imagination, phonics, brain-storming, calculation, reading and listening.

After attending classes at Shichida for 1 year & 8 months, I found that Quincy has become a quick learner with logical thinking activities, and her ability in learning new vocabularies is much stronger. Her listening, speaking skills & memory have improved a lot.

What makes Shichida Hong Kong special is their focus and care towards brain development and their ability to nurture each child by providing them the skills for successful lifelong learning.
 
I am confident that it has provided a foundation for my kids that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. I am mostly impressed with the memory activities and how strong my children’s memory skills have become as a result. I am simply amazed by how much they are able to remember! I am also impressed with the development of my children’s problem-solving skills. Even my eldest son’s kindergarten teachers have been amazed at his learning ability and strong memory.

Previously, my eldest son was quite stubborn and had trouble following instructions. After attending classes here, he has grown to listen and has built a strong love for learning. He even tries to share what he has learnt in class with his younger brother.

After reading a number of books by Professor Shichida, I became very impressed with his philosophies with regards to brain development and creating a nurturing learning environment for children. I chose to bring Matthew to attend classes at Shichida Hong Kong because of the strong research behind the development of their syllabus.
 
Upon seeing the incredible changes in my elder son and his excitement towards learning, I felt confident to sign up his younger brother for classes as well.
 
A change that I have seen in both of my children is that they have developed an incredible memory, which has made it much easier for them to learn new things.

The Shichida Method uses fun teaching materials at a fast pace to deliver the lesson. Children will have to use a combination of their physical and mental abilities to complete the task, which leaves a more lasting impression.
 
Since Jade has started Shichida classes, her concentration and her memory have significantly improved. This is proved by her ability to recognize Chinese characters. In addition, the Shichida Method has trained Jade to have excellent spatial and logical thinking. She can easily grasp mathematic concepts and quickly distinguish the three-dimensional shapes from a two-dimensional picture.
 
Jade has been with Shichida for 5 years. Every time she advances to the next class level, we can see that there is significant progress in her abilities. I really appreciate the adjustment in difficulty in Shichida’s classes, which allows the children to have the best learning results. This is something that is very hard to find elsewhere, and that is the main reason why I let Jade continue in Shichida for so long.

Most teaching methods are inclined to left brain learning. Shichida however, emphasizes right brain training. When the right brain activates, it will drive the left brain. Thus, the left and right brain will be well developed. Shichida classes start with a breathing exercise, so as to calm and relax children’s spirits. It helps children use their imagination for right brain activities.
 
All activities have an emphasis on teacher and student interaction. Teachers often encourage and guide children to speak so that every child has the opportunity to participate. In such an environment, children take the initiative to learn in a fun way.
 
After attending Shichida classes, Chun Hay can concentrate on his studies with stronger comprehension skills. He has become more cheerful. With the positive and loving environment, his mood is stable. He uses an "I CAN DO IT" attitude when experiencing challenges. He believes he will succeed one day as long as he keeps trying.
 
Shichida classes provide an enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere for learning. Chun Hay can confidently express his point of view. He enjoys the learning process. In addition, we attend classes with Chun Hay. We understand each stage of his learning progress and his strengths and weaknesses.

My boy and I never feel bored with the variety of activities in the program. The class content covers a wide range of skills, including flash card memory, photographic memory, imagination, phonics, brain-storming, calculation, reading and listening.
 
My participation in the lessons helps me understand the learning progress, strengths and weaknesses of my boy. This helps me teach my boy to do his homework. The class homework strengthens the skills that my boy learnt during the lessons. I have kept most of my boy’s homework and enjoy reading the comments that the teachers gave me.
 
Shichida provides a wide range of learning content (and provides a lot of inspiration to me as well). I can see the remarkable results of his initiative to contribute during the classes. I believe Wai Lun can benefit from the continual structured program.

She seems to have developed her language skills the most while studying at Shichida. She could sing the Happy Birthday song when she was 18 months old. She could change the original words of the song to other words with similar meaning when she was 20 months old. (e.g. She changed the song “Five little monkeys jumping on the bed” to “Five little owls jumping on the tree”).
 
This ability could help her to easily express what she is thinking and make it easy for her to communicate with us. For example, she could tell us when she had tummy pains when she was 18 months so that we could take her to see the doctor without delay. That's why she didn’t need to always cry to show her needs. It can also build up her confidence!

The class content, pace, and class materials have always maintained a high level of quality since we have joined the program. The class materials are always presented and designed in a creative way and can attract children’s attention. I always see him enjoy the time he spends in class.
 
Kyle has become a very fast learner. When we review for his dictation at home, he can complete the activity with no mistakes and without studying beforehand. I feel this is a result of strong memory skills he has achieved from this program.
 
The course itself is very unique in Hong Kong. The course design and methodology provides systematic training for both a child’s left and right brain. This is something which I have not been able to find with such a high level of quality in Hong Kong.

I think Shichida has a very distinguished teaching philosophy so I can tell that they are particularly serious in preparing teaching materials. Thanks to careful preparation and use of the materials by the teacher, classroom flow is always very smooth and effective.
 
The memory training session, which is conducted by the teacher telling a story with cards set in random order, is the activity I enjoy the most. Children are then asked to flip over the pictures cards and find them with prompts from the teacher. My children not only enjoy the story itself but also feel proud for picking the correct cards; I enjoy the grins they give me in this activity.
 
I have seen that Sofie and Austin have become better at independent thinking, be it in way of visualizing something hidden, or memorizing something at a glance. I think the impact of the Shichida Method has been subtle but astonishing and will be a life-long skill.

We first heard of right brain education at a prenatal class before Rachel was born. We learned that before the age of 6 is the “golden age" of right brain development. After attending the class, we always wanted to understand more about the Shichida Method. We got to learn about the Shichida program at a baby exhibition in 2015 and found their concept of right brain development very attractive.
 
Every lesson is around 1 hour, with over 10 activities and done at a fast pace. Each class activity is unique and special. Rachel enjoys the flash cards and linking method activties the most.  The linking method is a memory training activity that uses different pictures cards and links them with interesting stories.
 
Rachel has been attending the English class for over a year. She started to join the Mandarin class in 2016. What surprised us most is Rachel could remember all the Chinese phonics songs after attending only 3 lessons and tries to sing all the songs at home. She is always very confident to teach us numbers and words using flash cards at home.
 
Rachel’s younger brother, Gerald, joined the 6-12 months old program once he turned 6 months. Although he is still very little, his ability to concentrate has improved in class.

Harmony is very drawn and focused towards the class and activities.  This is due to the teacher’s ability to pique the children’s interest and make use of soothing tones and illustrative gestures to teach concepts such as: opposites, colors, etc.

Prior to coming across Shichida Hong Kong, we joined many playgroups in hopes of searching for the suitable one for our child. For the most part, Dad accompanied Harmony to these other classes and found that their staff and teaching methods were not up to par and furthermore unable to stimulate Harmony’s interest in learning. In stark contrast, after experiencing Shichida’s class environment, Dad was very satisfied with the curriculum as well as the professionalism and kind-heartedness of the teachers.

The activity I enjoy most in class is the “Linking Method”. The activity helps Rachel learn new vocabularies and build up memory by linking up words in a story telling way with a sequence. Rachel gets very excited and happy when she can repeat the story correctly in order.      

After attending classes at Shichida for 2.5 years, I found that Rachel has became a quick learner with logical thinking activities and her ability in learning new vocabularies is much stronger. Both her listening and speaking skills improved a lot.
