Child at the Center
We put children at the center of everything we do, with all touchpoints orbiting their unique strengths. Our program creates learning journeys that focus on the mastery of foundational knowledge, eliminating learning gaps and harmful labels towards ensuring all children are prepared to thrive in school and life. Our educators use new tools and assessments that support customized pathways, so we can celebrate children’s differences and encourage the development of their unique aptitudes, interests, and motivations.

Work the Problem
A quote attributed to NASA Flight Director, Gene Kranz, “work the problem” embodies YELLOW’s approach to facing challenges and solving problems with a combination of creativity and rigor. Students at YELLOWHAB are taught to explore and frame problems with understanding and optimism, and work toward solutions with a balance between divergent thinking and disciplined execution. It’s an approach practiced each day by adults and children at YELLOWHAB, and applied to every challenge encountered in school and life.

Community+
We believe it takes a community to raise a child, and this core value has been an essential element of YELLOW’s approach to unlocking possibility. We empower and activate local communities to wrap around children and their families, providing a host of services and supports including health care and restorative practices, legal assistance, and job training. Through family workshops and engagement events, we invite community members to participate in the YELLOWHAB experience.
