Description:

Bright by Three’s traditional visitation program is a free, three-year curriculum based on seminal research findings from The Carolina Abecedarian Project, Hart and Risley, The Perry Preschool Project, and others. Trained volunteers visit with parents and caregivers to share age-specific resource kits that help caregivers stimulate their child’s healthy development.

To support present-day caregivers, Bright by Text was developed to deliver bite-sized and developmentally-targeted doses of our research-based curriculum right to their cell phone. Each message contains a concept, resource, or activity, and links to a landing page with more detail and examples, related resources, and many include a short modeling video. Text messages are targeted to the age of the child (prenatal to five years old). In addition to content from Bright by Three’s own curriculum, we have incorporated messages from expert content partners including Vroom, PBS Kids for Parents, Sesame Street in Communities, and others.
