THE PROGRAM
By participating in discussion-based lessons and activities, students learn to focus on becoming aware of and able to articulate their emotions. These lessons, taught through NaliniKIDS Founder Rupa Mehta’s book, Connect To Your One, are followed by an empowering workout.
Students engage with textual material through visual art projects, reflective writing exercises, discussions about nutrition, or subject-related activities that allow them to apply and develop strategies of emotion regulation, cognitive reappraisal, problem-solving skills, and empathy-building. The physical fitness component of the program integrates strength training, yoga, and pilates-based exercises to promote movement and physical health. The holistic mind/body approach truly makes NaliniKIDS unique.
Students who have been through the NaliniKIDS program demonstrate improvements in classroom focus, academic achievement, and emotional well-being.

OUR CURRICULUM
The NaliniKIDS curriculum, which aligns with Common Core and STEM initiatives, has been developed by teachers and experts from all disciplines including, but not limited to: medicine, music, astronomy, biology and fitness.
The curriculum has been designed so that it is both turnkey and gives the teacher the ability to customize the lessons based on the needs of their classroom. We offer numerous ways to engage students of different backgrounds, learning styles and reading levels.
NaliniKIDS is a “living curriculum,” meaning it uniquely creates a way for teachers to foster a safe environment for students to apply their own life experiences to the material they’re learning, leading to rich discussion and learning that stays with the child.

OUR TEACHERS
After a unique 3-day training with the founder of NaliniKIDS, NaliniTEACHERS are equipped to create a trusting and connected classroom climate where all students feel respected and encouraged.
From the first sign of interest in teaching the program right through the first graduation and beyond, NaliniTEACHERS are supported online and offline by:
+ a dedicated community of other NaliniTEACHERS and NaliniKIDS staff
+ an online portal with the curriculum and resources
+ a private Facebook group for NaliniTEACHERS
NaliniTEACHERS often remark how the NaliniKIDS program benefits them personally – not only do they learn new and effective methods of classroom management, they also learn how to balance their own emotional weight and get reenergized to teach their subjects from this unique perspective.
