Bright Beginnings offers Moving On visits to parents of children ages 12 – 24 months giving parents specific information, assessments, and tools to promote language development during the second year of life. Materials focus on the importance of talking with, encouraging, and playing with your child and include information on vocabulary development and positive interactions.

The program was designed to help parents provide an enriched, supportive environment that promotes early literacy and teaches caregivers how they can become an encouraging partner in the “language dance.”

The following summary highlights some of the key results of Colorado Bright Beginnings’ statewide follow-up survey completed with 83 out of 163 families who had received a
Moving On visit in the previous 4 to 6 months.
