Yello Dyno®, established in 1986, has helped over 2 million children "walk tall" and "be smart" in today's exciting, but increasingly dangerous world. Protect-A-Child-Today! (PACT) provides these safety programs at your site. Yello Dyno's musically-based and non-fearful children's programs are endorsed by Law Enforcement, Child Safety Experts, Educators and Parents. Yello Dyno's unique entertainment-driven approach will empower your children, enhance their sense of security and build their self-esteem. Kids relate to the Yello Dyno® as their "safety champion" while learning personal safety skills to prevent abduction and other forms of victimization.

The Yello Dyno® Method supports the belief that all children have the right to be safe. This method defines and exposes "Tricky People" and corrects the outdated and misleading concept of "stranger danger."

  "I've reviewed many programs aimed at kids. I was most impressed with a series called 'Yello Dyno®'... a musically-based educational system that helps children remember important safety information."
  Gavin de Becker, one of the world’s leading authorities on personal safety and violence protection — author of The Gift of Fear, Protecting the Gift

  "One of the strengths of Yello Dyno® is that it utilizes three means of communicating important safety information - video, discussion, and music. Some children are more visual than others and the videotape was useful with this group, while others are better able to listen to the verbal presentation. The songs were a powerful way to reach all the children and really reinforce the lessons being taught. I would highly recommend Yello Dyno® to anyone interested in child abuse prevention."
  Michelle Stiller, Community Education Coordinator The Children's Shelter San Antonio
  

Scientifically based on the 1981 Nobel Prize winning research of Dr. Roger Sperry: The Yello Dyno® Method insures involuntary, automatic recall of right action in a crisis.

It paid off. Two of my students were able to react appropriately when approached in our local mall by a stranger. As a result of their knowledge, the man was arrested. Later it was discovered that he had a prior arrest involving children.
Mandy S. Crosland, Guidance Counselor, SC

"Unless your children recognize deceptive behavior of Tricky People who mean them harm, it doesn't matter what safety rules you teach them."
Jan Wagner, Author of Raising Safe Kids in an Unsafe World and founder of Yello Dyno®

"Our students' overwhelming positive response to the Yello Dyno® character and his infectious songs and lyrics that have penetrated our school for the hast year have made this program a 'must have."
Frank Cannata, Principal

"You have the smartest dinosaur I have ever seen."
Courtney, 4 yrs. old

"The Yello Dynothon Assembly was fantastic. Students learned about safety in a fun, exciting way and we all know that when learning is fun - learning is permanent."
Elementary school principal
