Organizations Filed Purposes: The mission of Bright by Text is to help all families give kids a bright beginning so they can grow into healthy, happy, and successful adults.

Bright by Text was developed to deliver bite-sized and developmentally-targeted doses of our research-based curriculum right to their cell phone at no cost. 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 developmental stage of the child. The program also provides target local content, based on the care giver's zip code. Bright by Text currently serves caregivers in all fifty states with expert research-based content as well as relevant localized messages.

Bright by Three provides free programs in both English and Spanish for parents and caregivers with children under three years old. The Bright by Three program contains accurate, research-based information, tools, and resources to help parents and caregivers give their child the best start in life. Volunteers and staff meet parents and caregivers at home, at work, at the pediatrician's office, in groups or at any community setting of their choice. Often, Bright by Three partners with community agencies to offer our programs in all 64 Colorado counties.
