GoNoodle lets teachers interact with students while leveraging a
library of movement and mindfulness videos. Parents and families
can download a free mobile app to access a variety of programming
to help kids find focus, get active and turn screen time into
active time. Humana and GoNoodle will engage users with custom,
downloadable activities that align with Humana’s goal of improving
the health of the communities it serves.
“Humana is proud to partner with GoNoodle as an advocate for
teachers and schools in support of families and children through
education, fun and interactive healthy-lifestyle content that meets
them where they are, at home or on the go,” said John Barger,
Humana’s Medicaid President. “GoNoodle’s expansive digital
resources further Humana’s commitment to addressing whole person
health with the people and communities that need it most.”
Whole person health and wellness has always been a focus of both
Humana and GoNoodle - and the circumstances brought about by the
COVID-19 pandemic have brought it to the forefront for more
educators and parents. As the world has been focused on critical
physical health needs, educators and parents have also been
struggling to keep the kids in their lives moving and active during
heavily-sedentary, online learning.
“Now more than ever, educators and parents are searching for
tools to help keep their kids engaged, active, and focused in the
classroom and at home,” said KC Estenson, CEO of GoNoodle. “Our
partnership with Humana aligns with our mission to bring good
energy and helpful, digital resources to kids and the adults who
love them.”
