Upwards: Solving Care for Good

Upwards was founded by a team of educators, preschool owners, and technology innovators with over 30+ years of experience in early childhood care. Our mission is to make affordable, world-class childcare accessible to all families. 


We strive to empower individuals — especially women — by helping them start and operate their own childcare business. We also partner with government entities to provide subsidized care, and help employers offer their working families childcare benefits.
