The childhood education program is based on Jean Piaget's research and theories. He believed an appropriate environment enhances a child's motivation to investigate, understand, learn, and overcome the cognitive and physical hurdles he or she encounters. Self-study equips the child with adequate tools to cope with the surroundings of his daily life. With teachers acting as facilitators, the child will naturally pass from one intellectual/conceptual stage to another at his own pace when he or she is ready.
