F irst 5 Shasta is excited to announce their partnership with Bright by Text! The Bright by Text program provides information on child development – plus
local events and resources – to parents and caregivers of children prenatal to age 8 in Shasta County. Families sign up to receive messages in English or Spanish that are specific to the age of their child and include local community resources targeted by zip code. Bright by Text messages include research-based content on child development and learning, as well as information about valuable community services and events happening right here in Shasta County.
Bright by Text helps parents and caregivers make the most out of time at home with their children by illustrating fun and easy activities, providing positive parenting tips and resources, and even video content to guide a child’s development. The program is proven to build nurturing caregiver-child relationships, and positively impact a child’s healthy development and school readiness. Parents and caregivers can feel assured that they are receiving important local announcements and information in Shasta County. A big thank you to Dignity Healthy- Mercy Medical Center for supporting this project! Sign up by texting the word SHASTAKIDS to 274448.
