Bringing Color Across Continents
UBABY Color began in China in 2015 with a simple belief: every child is born creative, and creativity can be nurtured through the right environment, guidance, and experiences.
Over the past decade, we have developed a structured and research-driven approach to art education through our proprietary 108-Color System. Using art as a medium, children learn to observe, think, create, and connect ideas across disciplines including science, geography, history, astronomy, biology, and music.
To inspire children to explore boldly, create confidently, and grow into thoughtful, creative thinkers of the future.
Art is more than a skill.
At UBABY Color, creativity is about more than what a child makes. It is also about how they learn to see, think, understand, and express themselves.
A language of self-expression.
We believe art is more than a skill—it is a language of self-expression.
Rather than focusing only on what a child creates, we care about how they see, think, and understand the world around them.
Bringing the approach to Upland.
As both an educator and a parent, I dreamed of bringing this approach to families in the United States.
When I discovered the Upland community, I found a place that shares these values and became the home of the first UBABY Color flagship campus in North America.
While technology can process information, it cannot replace imagination. At UBABY Color, we help children develop the confidence to explore, the courage to express themselves, and the ability to think creatively in a rapidly changing world.

Vivian Zhao
Chief Executive Officer
I dreamed of creating a true “third place” for families—a place beyond home and school where kids feel safe and comfortable enough to let their imaginations run completely wild, while parents have a cozy space to slow down, breathe, connect, or simply do absolutely nothing for a little while.
YOOBOO
Chief Imagination Officer
Curious, colorful, and always ready to explore, YOOBOO believes there’s no such thing as a “wrong” idea—only another way to discover something new.
Olivia Inostroz
Family Experience Coordinator
As part of UBABY COLOR’s Founding Family, I’m passionate about creating a warm, welcoming, and meaningful experience for every child and family. I’m excited to help build a strong community where families feel supported, children feel inspired, and everyone feels like they belong.
Criss Reyes
Kids’ Art Teacher
I love art because when I am painting I feel relaxed and time stops for me. I love animals, especially dogs, and being surrounded by nature.
Isabella Wallace
Kids’ Art Teacher
I have just freshly come out of university earning my teaching credential after completing my bachelor’s in fine arts and minor in art education.
It is my goal that each class provides a safe and fun environment for every kind of student to learn in. As an artist myself, art is an amazing way to stay imaginative, grow, and explore the world. I want to help the next generation learn and create on a deeper level here at UBABY.
See where creativity can take them.
