“The Basics” Principles

Commission for The Basics Boston

Digital, 2023

Each vignette captures a core Basics principal: nurturing love while managing stress, engaging through songs and pointing, encouraging exploration with movement and play, fostering learning with numbers and comparisons, and enriching minds by reading and discussing stories.

These principles are brought to life through the tender interactions of a family of bears, symbolizing the gentle yet powerful ways in which we can support the development of our youngest learners. This artwork celebrates the simple yet foundational actions that contribute to a child’s healthy growth and lifelong learning.
