A child’s brain develops more rapidly in the earliest years than at any other point in their life. Children rely on interactive experiences and strong relationships with their parents and caregivers to support their health and life-long learning. All parents can use a little back-up to make the most of this critical time. Whether you’re expecting a baby or a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, or other caregivers, Bright by Text can make supporting children’s healthy development a little bit easier!
While there is absolutely no cost for enrolling, data and message rates may apply. You can cancel your Bright By Text messages any time by texting STOP to 274448.
