Shichida Method educates children to be well-balanced and have warm heart.
Shichida Method Education is not the same as a mere childhood education. Early Childhood Education tends to focus on the development of intelligence, which leads to an education lacking heart.
It is a feature of Shichida that children are educated with a humanistic approach. Children are helped with the troubles in their hearts and behavior, with their life and emotional balance and with the sense of society and health.
First of all, we drive for the well-balanced education and caring of children's emotional development.
We do not see your children as “What they can do and what they cannot do.”
It is the most important base of parenting that we accept our children as they are. It does not matter if they can do this or they can not do that, but saying to them “Dad and Mom are so happy to just have you.” is most important. Shichida Method aims at the being well-balanced, having the basics of intellectual education, moral education, physical education and nutrition education.
