The show was first aired from December 19, 2009 to January 16, 2011 on GMA's then lifestyle channel, Q (now GMA News TV). The program was basically a talent show for elementary school children hosted by six child actors together with a strawberry-colored mascot, Potchi. The show included educational segments where children are taught spelling, vocabulary, grammar, science, people, and nature, among other things. The game portion, on the other hand, features a giant game board that challenges the children's mental and physical abilities. Other regular segments in the show are "Video-OK!," where children send in videos of themselves or their friends and relatives; "Aprub!," a feature on people, events, and places that are remarkable and worthy of getting the Potchi "aprub" mark, "Dear Kapotchi," a portion where viewers can send feedback and even school activity announcements; and "Sabi ni Potchi," (lit. Potchi says) a series of short stories featuring Potchi the mascot, injecting humor, commentary and trivia.

It ran for 4 seasons until Columbia wanted to reformat the program into a weekly values-driven narrative show with informative feature segments. With the new direction, in 2011, Columbia and the network decided to transfer the program to GMA Network and officially aired on April 30 of the same year. The present structure of the show incorporates animated sequences, experiments, and activities to enhance engagement and appeal to a younger demographic. It tackles social topics relevant to the youth, including bullying, internet addiction, gender sensitivity, environmental awareness, the importance of education, and navigating relationships within families and friendships.
