About Shichida Singapore
Shichida Singapore is an enrichment centre operating islandwide from its premises at HDB Hub East Wing in Toa Payoh, offering brain-development programmes primarily aimed at young children. The centre is KakiList verified and ACRA registered. It holds a Google rating of 3.5 out of 5 across 88 reviews, a moderate sample that gives a reasonable directional signal, though prospective families are encouraged to read individual reviews carefully before drawing conclusions. Pricing is indicated at a mid-range level, though specific fees are not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly with the centre.
Families interested in enrolling typically begin by enquiring about available levels and whether the programme is suited to their child's age and current stage of development. Shichida's methodology is structured around specific age bands, so confirming syllabus fit before committing is worthwhile. Prospective families should ask about group class sizes versus any one-to-one options, term commitment lengths, and whether a trial class is available before signing up for a full term. The centre's Toa Payoh location is accessible by MRT, which may be a practical consideration when choosing a regular time slot.
The most direct next step is to contact Shichida Singapore via phone or their enquiry form to ask about current class availability for your child's age group, request details on any trial class options, and clarify term fees and materials costs before making a commitment.

I submitted a deposit and class cancel refund form on 18 Dec 2025 after The Shichida Centerpoint centre closed. The centre informed refund would be processed by HQ, but until today it has not been received and emails/WhatsApp are not responding. When the refund will pay?

The center implemented an increase in fees by introducing material charges without prior notification. During one term, no materials were provided for students to take home since there was no material fees. Several experienced teachers have left, which impacted the class quality. Our last class was in March, and the deposit has not yet been returned. There has been no update or report from the admin to date.

After 1 term, the management suddenly decided to increase the term fees by adding the so called materials fees, it’s an extra $145. The so called materials are their Shichida cards which I already have for my elder child, and they didn’t consult me whether I needed it. Next I expected the worksheets which my elder daughter was working on when she was there in year 2020 to 2021 and the teachers would collect and mark them. For my younger daughter, they only gave the worksheet in the second month and didn’t give anymore. The poems section was not taken seriously, my child prepared for the poem recital but there wasn’t any chance for the children to recite unlike my elder daughter who got the chance to recite. A lot of the Shichida experience were not delivered up to standards and yet they are increasing the fees by adding materials fees which was already supposed to be part of the curriculum.

Highly recommend Teacher Kat!! My son has been attending her lessons for almost 4 years now. She is very passionate and experienced, she makes every lesson fun and engaging. She goes the extra mile to decorate the classroom, giving out gifts during festive seasons and even little golden man trophies after children completing their recitations. My son improves tremendously under her care. The front desk staffs are super friendly too. Greet us warmly and even remember my son’s name! We look forward to attend the Shichida Method lesson every week!

We attended the IFC Akarui opened by the Shichida Founder, with promise of shichida lessons, food nutritional to the brain, Japanese lessons etc. School fee was at 2700/ month. But shichida class was only conducted when my child was 5 months in the school. Their so called food for brain development is no difference from other childcare food. Not long after, the center announced it would be closing down. We noticed good teachers are fired (but we were told they resign 1 by 1) and in replacement the school took in auntie to take care of the infants. There were no classes conducted, they literally conducted a few lessons of shichida class before they decided to close the place down and took away the classes. Babies were left crying incessantly, and when we arrived and waved at the babies, they stopped crying momentarily and the auntie came out saying "wow you guys finally stop crying". For a premium IFC under shichida specialising in brain development, they offered screen on ipad for the babies to watch. They hid it in the bookshelves, but we noticed the babies gathering around the area. On our arrival, the auntie quickly placed down the ipad and put the tissue over it. The Japanese teacher was thankfully still around but very overworked because most teachers are gone. It was a horrid experience for the premium price paid. Really horrid management / founder who priced profit over the babies. This experience has really scarred me as a mother, and I really regretted leaving my such young baby under their charge Leaving the review here though my child is now 33 months old. She was in the IFC from 3 month to almost 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Shichida Singapore charge per session?›
Shichida Singapore has not published its fee schedule publicly, so specific per-session or monthly programme fees are not available on this listing. Enrichment centres of this type in Singapore typically charge on a per-term or monthly-package basis rather than a pure drop-in rate, and costs often vary depending on the child's age band and class frequency. A one-off trial class, where offered, is usually charged separately at a reduced rate. Additional costs to clarify upfront include any registration or enrolment fee, materials or workbook fees, and whether sibling discounts apply. See the full enrichment class cost guide for Singapore →
Can I try a class before committing?›
Many enrichment centres operating structured brain-development programmes offer a trial class so families can assess whether the teaching style and pace suit their child before committing to a full term. It is worth asking Shichida Singapore directly whether a trial is available for your child's age group and what the associated cost is, as trial class policies vary by provider. During a trial, look out for how the facilitator engages children, whether the pace feels appropriate for your child's current level, and how the class is structured from start to finish. A single session gives useful early signal, but one class may not fully reflect the ongoing experience, so asking the facilitator about the typical programme arc for the term is also sensible.
What are the credentials of the instructors at Shichida Singapore?›
Shichida is a Japanese-origin methodology with a structured training pathway for its educators, and instructors at licensed Shichida centres are typically trained in the proprietary method. However, specific details about individual instructor qualifications, educational backgrounds, or years of teaching experience are not available on this listing. Prospective families should ask the centre directly about instructor training and certification in the Shichida method, how long the teaching team has been in place, and whether there is continuity of instructor across a term. Confirming these details before committing to a course is a reasonable step, particularly given the young age of the children typically enrolled in these programmes.
