How is Upwards different than traditional daycare?
We believe that every child deserves the best chance for success. The small class sizes ensure that kids receive individualized attention in addition to the social interactions needed for healthy development. We equip all Upwards providers with best in class education tools to promote early educational development across literacy, math, science, STEM, motor and social emotional learning centers. Parents can easily follow along in the Upwards app to see what their child is learning and how to continue education at home. Parents also receive in-app photo and video updates throughout the day so they never miss a moment!
