The basic thrust of Shri Padam Chand Ji’s ideology was:
"To grow physically, mentally, emotionally and intellectually,
the child must essentially be happy
Rewards and punishments are harmful for the healthy growth of the child.
"
Home is the first and the most important laboratory where the potential of
early childhood is observed, stimulated, assisted and developed,
and the school and playground constitute the second environment of the child.
The Happy Parent, the Happy teacher and the Happy Child form an indivisible trinity
