Twenty-five cross-sector community partners have come together to support a new initiative led by EPEL as the backbone organization, called ‘The Basics.’ Over the next few months, the community launch team will work to increase the initiative’s reach and impact. The community will soon hear more about the five key Basic Principles and how they can contribute to this collective effort. Together, we aim to create a whole-community strategy that fosters enriched learning and brain development for children from birth to age five.
