Our Mission

At Lantern, we believe that every child and family deserves the opportunity to thrive, and we work tirelessly to make this vision a reality. By sharing expert-curated tips, activities and essential, trusted information, we empower families to support their children’s healthy development. Our content is accessible to all, embracing diversity and inclusivity, and is available in English, Spanish and Arabic at a 6th-grade reading level.

Your support helps us continue this essential work, ensuring that families everywhere receive the guidance and encouragement they need to foster healthy children who are ready to learn and succeed for a lifetime. Join us in making a lasting impact on our families. Together, we can help every child reach their full potential.

Your Support Allows Us To:

  • Support our current families
  • Reach more families
  • Add more programs tailored to the interests and needs of our families (such as autism, sleep and nutrition)
  • Innovate as technology and information consumption evolve
  • Personalize our content to reach different types of caregivers and support their cultural and linguistic preferences

Every dollar helps ensure that our service remains free for families.
