Classes are conducted with a maximum of six children and their parents. Yes, the parents. Parents play a significant role in Shichida lessons, especially in younger children's lessons*. They sit right behind their child and take the lessons alongside them. Parents are often amazed at what their children can do and quickly learn about their role as a parent: love, praise and accept. They discover the correct balance of parent involvement that promotes their child’s independence. Shichida classes are for parents as much as they are for children.

*Depending on the child’s readiness, between three and four years old, we ask parents to step away from the lesson. Classes for older children are usually conducted without their parents present in the classroom.

Shichida instructors are carefully selected from among many candidates. To become qualified as a certified Shichida instructor, individuals must go through rigorous training and testing provided by the Shichida headquarters in Japan.
Also, the instructors continuously engage in training and continued education so that they can deliver top-quality lessons. Since the instructor holds the key to lesson success, peer and managerial critiques are also regularly conducted to ensure our instructor quality. Finally, periodical workshops are held to update instructors on the newest educational methods. Shichida instructor certificates are only valid at official Shichida Centers.
