Screenwriter, Marlon Miguel conceptualized and developed the series on early 2013. The show's key target demographic were children (6- to 12-year-old age) and preteens to adolescents (13- to 19-year-old age), and aimed to entertain in a positive manner, at the same time, teach televiewers, especially the parents, to raise their kids to be the best they can be while highlighting the importance of maintaining a strong parental involvement in every child's learning and development. The series also dealt with several social issues such as single-parenting, bullying and peer-pressure.
The series featured six regular speaking roles. The majority of the cast were all announced in mid-2013 during the series' story conference, with the main cast being David Remo, Sheena Halili, Luis Alandy, Nova Villa, Angel Satsumi and Gwen Zamora. Remo portrayed the title character Binoy Santos, a boy with a stunning IQ and a "big heart". He was chosen to play the character from more than fifty children who auditioned for the said role. Prior to this, the child actor had already appeared in several TV and print commercials. Halili was chosen to play another lead character, Agnes Santos, Binoy's illiterate mother.

She described the role as her "most challenging ever" and pointed her mother as her "peg" for her character.
