Featured Collection: Civics + Arts
NaliniKIDS teamed up with the Kennedy Center Education to bring arts and movement together in a whole new way. This civics collection of videos focuses on the five ideals often ascribed to John F. Kennedy: COURAGE, FREEDOM, JUSTICE, SERVICE, and GRATITUDE.
Through this age-appropriate introduction to foundational civic concepts, we aim to support teachers in laying the groundwork for active and engaged citizens as children mature.
The Philosophy
With authentic social interactions and real-life pacing, OOPA’S World of Words marries engagement with education.
Read more about how movement increases access to deeper learning in this featured article in the Kennedy Center Digital Resources Library for Educators.
Hear from the Creator
We live in a busy and colorful world of words. Children are over-stimulated and under-served by today’s media. Hear from founder and creator, Rupa Mehta (OOPA), about the void in early childhood media, and why we need this type of content now, more than ever.
“My students are using tier 2 emotion words like ‘brave’ and ‘proud’ throughout the day - in morning meeting, on the playground, during center time. They understand these words so deeply that they can apply them in various contexts.”

Movement and reflection should be part of every child's life.
