Bright by Text is now Lantern, texting tips for early childhood development

Same commitment to families, shiny new look.

Arizona PBS is proud to partner with Lantern, formerly known as Bright by Text, a parental resource providing tips and tricks on early childhood development to busy parents, supporting them in their everyday lives.

“The name ‘Lantern’ symbolizes our role in guiding families and lighting the way to education, wellness and connection,” the team at Lantern said. “Like a lantern lighting the path, we aim to provide clear, reliable and timely information to families to help every child thrive.”

If you are already utilizing resources from Lantern, your experience will remain seamless, and if you are interested in joining their community of parents, text ARIZONAPBS to 274448 or complete an online form to start receiving expert-approved content right away.

Lantern offers three distinct programs, each with its own unique tips. BOND is designed to help parents with a child aged 0-1, which addresses both parent and child wellbeing and mental health. HEAR offers tips specifically designed for families of children with suspected or confirmed hearing loss. Finally, COOK provides simple and healthy recipes the whole family will love!

Additionally, you can browse the new website at www.mylantern.org, and follow them on FacebookInstagram and LinkedIn.
