Welcome to OOPA'S World

A groundbreaking new educational series with a simple focus - words.

Together with her friends, OOPA helps children understand the words in their lives, from feelings, to social scenarios, to new vocabulary. Through the use of focal props and interactive movements, children gain a full body understanding of words leading to greater retention.

Helping educators introduce 9/11 to young learners

The Remembering September 11th resource was created to support educators and families of children ages 5+ who want to introduce this historic event in a developmentally appropriate way.

This collaboration with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) brings remembrance and early childhood education together at a pivotal moment: the 25-year anniversary of September 11th.

A blend of magic and nostalgia

Integrating Civics + Arts

NaliniKIDS teamed up with the Kennedy Center Education team to bring arts and movement together in a whole new way. This civics collection of signature OOPA 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.
