Introducing Lantern

Lantern lights the way for families, providing a bright beginning for every child to realize their full potential. The age-based messages have been created in collaboration with experts in the child development field and include tips, conversation starters, learning games and activities and much more. 

Lantern delivers evidence-based, personalized information directly to the fingertips of caregivers. Families receive weekly messages–supporting whole child, whole family development–tailored to their child’s age, their family’s needs and interests, and their zip code. 

Sign up for text messages to help you in your parenting journey, from pregnancy through preteen. Lantern covers it all: tantrums, nutrition, brain-building activities, local events, and more!

Signing up takes less than 30 seconds. Text KIDSWA to 274448 or CLICK HERE. Text messages are available in English, Spanish, and Arabic.
