What is Upwards?
Upwards is a network of the best daycare and child care programs in Portland, OR and across the United States. Our mission is to make sure that all families have access to quality child care that ensures their child has the best chance to succeed. All of the verified daycares holding the green badge have been vetted by early education experts. These child care programs are held to a higher standard than state licensing departments and have been background checked, have active licenses, and maintain health and safety certifications outlined by the state.
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!
