What is Upwards?
Upwards is a network of the best daycare and child care programs in Oakland, CA 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. Upwards locations offer child care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children up to age 14.
Does Upwards allow child care subsidies?
Upwards is for everyone! Many Upwards locations accept families receiving subsidized child care.
