NaliniKIDS has been the subject of two independent evaluations

Researchers from Teachers College at Columbia University found that students who complete NaliniKIDS programs demonstrate improvements in focus, academic achievement, and emotional well-being.

Key Findings:

• Consistent and broad engagement in NaliniKIDS contributed to improved empathy among students, improved peer relations, and improved opportunities for inclusion

• The increased impact of this program among repeat students speaks to the value of participating in this program over multiple years

• The curriculum was well-received by students, teachers, and school administrators

"We partnered with NaliniKIDS to infuse emotional reflection and physical movement into our civic lessons, offering multiple modalities for connection and ensuring all learners have the opportunity for deep, meaningful engagement."

We've partnered with the largest Department of Education in the US

From 2017–2019 NaliniKIDS was selected as the mandated social-emotional learning program for NYC's summer school program, Summer in the City, reaching over 200,000 students. Beginning in 2020, when the world changed suddenly, NYC educators used our digital curriculum to give their students access to movement and reflection at a time when they needed it most. Over the years, our partnerships within NYC have included 3K/Pre-K through grade 12 schools, the central STEM Department and Civics for All.

"NaliniKIDS is a trusted partner in providing innovative programs for all students."

"STEM teachers must teach the 21st century soft skills that will help students to be successful both in the classroom, and in their future careers that may not even exist yet. NaliniKIDS does a wonderful job of teaching these skills through collaboration, communication, and self-reflection.”
