We're here for anyone who cares for a child, prenatally through age 8: parents, parents-to-be, grandparents, babysitters, aunties/uncles, neighbors, friends, teachers, and more.
We send free text messages with conversation starters, bonding activities, games to boost brain development, social-emotional development tips, and much more. Our messages come from trusted partners like PBS KIDS.
We only ask for your child's birth date and zip code. That way, you'll get messages timed to their exact age and information about events and resources near you. We will never share your info! Bright by Text is completely free, but message and data rates may apply.
Our sign-up form takes less than 30 seconds to complete.
