Bright by Text is Now Lantern!

Bright by Text is now even brighter! The helpful, free text messaging program that nearly half a million families rely on is now officially Lantern! The name and look may be shiny and new, but the mission remains the same: lighting the way for families, from pregnancy through preteen. 

 

Lantern brightens the caregiving journey through free, helpful messages timed to a child’s exact age and based on the family’s zip code, to ensure that all children have a bright beginning. Families can choose to receive messages in English, Spanish or Arabic.

Sign Up For Lantern

Because kids don’t come with instructions. Receive text messages to help you in your parenting journey.

Start anytime by texting KIDSWA to 274448 or sign up below! Lantern is a non-profit organization. They don’t sell advertising space or share information.
