Our Educational Framework

The Science Behind FAM100 for Kids Education: Building 9 Core Life Abilities for the Future

A framework grounded in developmental psychology, family education, and positive parenting research.

Research Pillars

Our approach integrates globally recognised educational frameworks with the lived experience of modern families.

Developmental Psychology

Longitudinal studies on cognitive, emotional, and social development inform every milestone and activity in the FAM100 journey.

Family Systems

We blend attachment theory, systemic therapy models, and cross-cultural parenting research to strengthen family bonds and empathy.

Positive Parenting

Evidence-based strategies from SEL, positive discipline, and strengths-based coaching ensure families build resilient daily habits.

Our Educational Framework

Our approach integrates globally recognised educational frameworks with the lived experience of modern families.

A continuous cycle of discovery, translation, and validation.

Family lab case studies

Validated Through First-hand Family Pilots

Our curriculum is co-designed with real households, measured against longitudinal well-being and learning indicators.

Shenzhen STEAM Family Lab (2024)
18 dual-career households participated in a 12-week blended programme focused on curiosity and executive function.
  • 82% of caregivers reported improved emotional check-ins (Family Lab Insight Report, Q2 2024).
  • Average of 3.6 activity check-ins per week logged via the FAM100 app.

Internal IRB-reviewed pilot: FAM100 Family Lab Report, April 2024

Singapore Resilient Habits Sprint (2025)
9 primary school families co-ran resilience and habit-building rituals in collaboration with local educators.
  • Children demonstrated a 19% increase in self-reported habit adherence using the SRL-Kids scale (SoLD aligned).
  • Caregivers logged 27 qualitative reflections that informed the product's new progress dashboard update.

SoLD Pilot Debrief, Ministry Innovation Exchange, January 2025

Seattle Neurodiversity Cohort (2025)
A focus group of 7 neurodiverse learners and their families tested sensory-safe variants of core activities.
  • Session completion times decreased by 23% after adaptive sequencing updates.
  • Parent NPS rose from 18 to 54 following the introduction of visual supports.

FAM100 Inclusive Design Memo, March 2025

Program-wide insights

  • 18,400+ tagged activity check-ins analysed across 3 regions (Q1 2025 telemetry).
  • Monthly qualitative diary studies ensure lived experience remains the leading indicator for roadmap decisions.

The 9 Core Abilities Framework

Learning

Curiosity & Self-learning

Derived from Piaget's stages of cognitive development and Montessori's self-directed learning methods.

Character

Character & Integrity

Based on Kohlberg's stages of moral development and Harvard's 'Making Caring Common' project.

Habits

Habits & Executive Function

From research on neuroplasticity and executive functions (Barkley, 1997).

Health

Physical & Emotional Well-being

Combines the WHO health education framework and the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) model.

Emotions

Emotional Intelligence

Based on Goleman's five core components of Emotional Intelligence.

Nature

Connection to Nature

Referencing the 'Nature Deficit Disorder' concept and forest education theories.

Arts

Creativity & Expression

Derived from Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and research in art therapy.

Family

Family Bonding & Empathy

Based on Attachment Theory (Bowlby) and systemic family therapy models.

Social

Collaboration & Citizenship

Drawing from Social Learning Theory (Bandura) and the OECD 21st Century Skills framework.

Impact at a Glance

A holistic roadmap for future-ready life skills.

How We Transform Research into Family Experiences

A continuous cycle of discovery, translation, and validation.

  1. 1

    Research & Synthesis

    We review peer-reviewed studies, global competency frameworks, and the latest neuroscience findings each quarter.

    40+ journals, OECD 2030 Skills, CASEL SEL core competencies

  2. 2

    Framework Design

    Experts translate insights into age-appropriate abilities, developmental markers, and experience design principles.

    9 core abilities, 36 developmental outcomes, 120+ activity archetypes

  3. 3

    Family Prototyping

    We co-create with pilot families to ensure cultural sensitivity, accessibility, and day-to-day practicality.

    18 family labs across 6 cities

  4. 4

    Impact Validation

    Progress dashboards, reflective surveys, and educator feedback loops guide every product iteration.

    92% families report improved emotional communication within 60 days

Grounded in Recognised Frameworks

External benchmarks and sector partnerships keep our model accountable.

Framework Crosswalk

Activities mapped to CASEL's SEL competencies and OECD Learning Compass 2030 (OECD, 2018).

Health Guidance

Family routines aligned with WHO guidelines on physical activity and emotional well-being for children (WHO, 2020).

Parent Education

Positive parenting guidance references the Triple P evidence base (Sanders, 2012).
