LANCASTER, PA — GoNoodle is rolling out its new SuperNoodle platform across all 67 public elementary schools in Lancaster County, giving educators access to a full-year emotional well-being curriculum designed to strengthen students’ social-emotional skills, resilience, and classroom focus.
GoNoodle, already used by 83% of U.S. public elementary schools and nearly all schools in Lancaster County, is known for its movement-based and mindfulness-driven videos that help teachers manage classroom energy and support student engagement. The company says SuperNoodle represents its most comprehensive offering to date, delivering a structured, research-backed framework for daily emotional-literacy instruction.
SuperNoodle includes more than 240 grade-level videos and 160 guided activities, covering morning routines, transitions, pre-test preparation, and classroom regulation. The content aligns with social-emotional learning standards and is built to help students develop self-regulation, awareness, and confidence through consistent practice.
Dr. Amy Balsbaugh, principal of John R. Bonfield Elementary School in the Warwick School District, said the program fills a critical need. “I see the urgent need for practical tools like SuperNoodle to assist teachers in supporting students’ behavior, attention and focus, emotional awareness, and social skills,” she said. “Every public school in our county now has access to this invaluable tool, creating a brighter future for our students and community.”
SuperNoodle’s launch in Lancaster comes as behavioral-health needs continue to rise among children nationwide. Research shows one in five U.S. children faces a behavioral health challenge. GoNoodle positions SuperNoodle as an early-intervention approach that strengthens resilience before issues escalate.
Harry Brambly, DO, chair of pediatrics at Lancaster General Hospital and a clinical advisor to GoNoodle, said daily emotional-literacy routines can have long-term impact. “When students learn to identify and manage their emotions early, they’re better equipped to handle stress, build healthy relationships, and succeed academically,” he said.
Implementation in Lancaster County will be led by Wynne Kinder, GoNoodle’s head of education and a longtime local educator who helped develop the platform. Kinder will oversee training and onboarding to ensure staff across all schools can fully integrate the program.
GoNoodle CEO KC Estenson said the expansion demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting both students and teachers. “SuperNoodle embodies our commitment to empowering children with emotional skills they need to succeed inside and outside the classroom,” he said.
Teachers will need a GoNoodle account and an internet-connected device with a shared classroom screen. Once registered by their district, educators will receive onboarding materials, training support, and classroom-ready tools to bring the program to life.
