This is a wonderful centre with an amazing team. The centre manager genuinely cares about families and took my concerns seriously — she even stepped in to take the class herself, which meant a lot to us. The teachers are warm, dedicated, and truly invested in the children’s learning. We feel very supported and grateful to be part of such a caring community. Highly recommend.

Shichida is a unique program and I can see the benefits for young children and giving them a board range of exposure and skills at a young age. The educators and staff are warm and friendly and it’s a very positive environment which makes the children feel safe to engage in learning.

I have been bringing my 4 yo son since the beginning of this year and he loves attending the class. They make learning very fun - his math, literacy, memory skills have dramatically improved since joining. Their approach to teaching children is very unique and sets them up for success in life early. They also do information sessions for parents to help us understand why they do what they do in class with the children. The staff at Doncaster are very friendly and compassionate. I am so glad I found these classes and would highly recommend trying them out.

We’ve had a great experience with Shichida. The program really helps keep our child engaged, and she genuinely enjoys the songs and puzzles. The activities are fun, interactive, and well-structured, which makes learning feel exciting rather than forced. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We only have one day that suits us and they will notify me if our preferred day and time becomes available

Our four-year-old absolutely loves going to Shichida each week! The teachers are genuinely caring and deeply committed to every child’s growth, they take the time to understand each student’s personality and learning style, which makes such a difference. It’s clear that the Shichida method isn’t just about academics, it’s about nurturing confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the progress we’ve seen.

My son has been attending Shichida since he was 9 months old (now 3), and it’s been an amazing experience. He genuinely enjoys the classes, and I’ve seen noticeable growth in his memory, focus, and communication skills. The program is well-structured, nurturing, and keeps learning fun. The teachers are warm and professional, and the method truly supports whole-brain development. Highly recommended for parents looking to give their child a strong and balanced start.

We’ve been with Shichida Doncaster since our daughter was 16 months old, and the progress we’ve seen has been amazing. She has developed strong memory skills, gained so much confidence, and built a solid foundation in both numeracy and literacy — all through engaging, age-appropriate learning. We especially want to acknowledge Teacher Ban, who has been such a positive influence. She takes the time to thoroughly review each child’s homework, treating it with the seriousness it deserves. Her approach is both firm and gentle, setting clear expectations while creating a warm and supportive environment. Our daughter absolutely loves her classes and always looks forward to them. The preprimary class continues to be a big part of our daughter’s development, and we’re so grateful for the care and dedication shown by the team at Shichida Doncaster. Highly recommended for any parent wanting to give their child the best early start!
