Piaget sangat mementingkan pendidikan kanak-kanak. Sebagai Pengarah Biro Pendidikan Antarabangsa, beliau mengisytihar pada tahun 1934 bahawa "hanya pendidikan mampu menyelamatkan masyarakat kita daripada runtuh yang boleh jadi, sama ada ganas, atau beransur-ansur."[15] Teori perkembangan kanak-kanak beliau dikaji dalam program pendidikan praperkhidmatan. Para pendidik terus menggabungkan strategi berasaskan konstruktivis.
Piaget mencipta Pusat Antarabangsa untuk Epistemologi Genetik di Geneva pada tahun 1955 manakala di fakulti Universiti Geneva dan mengarahkan Pusat tersebut sehingga beliau meninggal dunia pada tahun 1980.[16] The number of collaborations that its founding made possible, and their impact, ultimately led to the Center being referred to in the scholarly literature as "Piaget's factory".[17]
Menurut Ernst von Glasersfeld, Jean Piaget merupakan "perintis hebat teori mengetahui konstruktivis."[18] Walau bagaimanapun, ideanya tidak popular meluas hingga 1960-an.[19] Hal ini kemudian membawa kepada timbulnya kajian perkembangan sebagai suatu subdisiplin major dalam psikologi.[20] Menjelang akhir abad ke-20, Piaget hanya yang kedua daripada B. F. Skinner sebagai ahli psikologi yang paling banyak dipeting pada zaman itu.[21]
