Empowering Early Childhood Development with The Basics

Through The Basics initiative, we provide families with five simple, yet powerful principles to nurture their children's growth and ensure they thrive in school and life.

About The Basics Mural
West Chicago is now home to a vibrant new Basics Mural, created by a recent WCCHS graduate and inspired by The Basics principles. This artwork brings the five pillars of early childhood development to life in a colorful, engaging way that families can enjoy right in the heart of our community.
Take a walk along Main Street in front of Republic Bank to see the mural up close, and get the chance to do The Basics as you explore. This blog post dives into the story behind the mural, its community impact, and how you can incorporate The Basics into everyday moments.
