Our Impact

Eighty percent of a child’s brain development occurs from Birth to 3 years old.  Saturating the community with consistent information on how to improve that development is critical to the success of our children.

Our Vision:

The Basics Vision is a Lowcountry where infants, toddlers, and preschoolers of all racial/ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds are on track to achieve their full potential–having benefited from early experiences that foster healthy brain development, learning, joy, and resilience.
