We understand how challenging caring for a young child can be, that’s why we created Bright by Text. It’s easy to sign up for Bright by Text, and even easier to use. Simply text a local keyword for your community, then select English or Spanish as your language of preference. Then enter your child’s date of birth (or due date) to receive messages specific to the age and stage of development of your child. Enter your zip code and you’ll receive messages specific to local resources and events in your area.
Messages are sent 2-4 times per week and include evidence-based content from trusted early childhood experts on a wide range of topics to support child development and strengthen families.
Bright by Text is designed for parents (including expectant parents), grandparents, babysitters, aunts, uncles, neighbors, friends, teachers, and anyone else caring for a young child.
