What is Upwards?

Upwards is a technology-driven care solutions company on a mission to make care accessible to all families. We connect parents, care providers, and employers where childcare needs intersect, creating a network of support and solutions that meet the needs of everyone involved. Upwards matches families with vetted care providers based on each child's unique needs. This helps to ease the process of finding high-quality, affordable childcare for parents and empowers caregivers to serve more children. This allows families to continue to pursue their passion through their career. 


Parents no longer need to spend hours searching for nearby providers with availability. Upwards will help simplify the process of finding care by vetting providers, helping schedule tours, negotiating rates, and facilitating enrollment and tuition payment.
