Lantern (formerly Bright by Text)

Lantern is a nationwide text messaging service helping parents and caregivers of children – from prenatal to age 11 – make the most of everyday interactions. Through free tips, information, games and resources, Lantern is proven to build nurturing caregiver-child relationships, promote a child’s healthy development, and improve school readiness. Our bite-size and developmentally targeted content comes from research-based curriculum curated from resources such as Vroom and PBS, right to a caregiver’s cell phone.
