Bright by Three offers parents of children age 0-3 with free tools and text messages to help you with preparing your child for kindergarten and longtime success in school. The first years of your child’s life are the most important because 85% of your child’s brain develops by the age of three! By using Bright by Three materials you will create a healthy environment for your child to thrive, and you will have fun doing it.
Bright by Three is a simple 3 step program. Starting from the time your child is born and up to when they are 3 years old, you will receive age appropriate materials to help stimulate your child’s growth and development. The materials are in English and Spanish and available to all families from Aspen to Parachute area, free of charge.
Our staff will meet with you to explain the materials and the Bright by Text program. We can come to your home or we can meet in a public place of your preference. During our time together we go over how to use the materials in the kit, we are available to answer your questions, and we can refer you to other agency and community services.
