Play-Based Guided Learning
At Shichida early education, through our toddler programs, you will learn how best to support your toddler’s growing brain through hands-on play.
Shichida toddlers may spontaneously exhibit natural abilities when their boundaries are respected and their curiosity is nurtured by parents. Such abilities include memorising large amounts of information, speaking in full sentences, early reading and solving challenging puzzles.
On top of executive functioning skills like concentration, self-control and working memory, your child will also develop empathy, social skills and imagination.
At Shichida early education, toddler classes are filled with games, activities, music and toys. Your child will be too busy having fun to realise how much they are learning!

Shichida Australia early learning program for toddlers
The Shichida Australia early learning program for toddlers is designed by early learning experts and based on over 60 years of scientific research.
The fun, engaging curriculum incorporates the best concepts to promote brain development for children between 1 year to 3 years old.
Our specialised classes for toddlers primarily concentrate on “input” for your child by focusing on observation and participation.
How toddlers learn
Toddlers learn key skills including problem solving, concentration, self-control and working memory, numeracy and literacy in a variety of ways.
- Observation – keenly watching things that are going on around them
- Through listening to conversations and songs
- By asking lots of questions
- Trying new and challenging activities
- Practising the skills they learn through repetition
Most of a child’s language development takes place during the toddler period. They are linking words together to form coherent conversation. For this reason, this short window of time is critical for learning language.
