Ratings and reviews

The customer service is very poor to the point where I think it's a scam service. So the point person, Jayson, messages me to fill out a form through the messaging app but it didn't make sense to me on how they wanted me to fill it out because if you're gathering data this way, you'd have to manually input it somewhere else...it just seemed inefficient. So I ask Jayson to email me something more official and he sends me an email but it wasn't the form. He wanted $50 to assist with searching. No.

⭐ 5-Star Review for Upwards Upwards has been an amazing resource for providers, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support! From offering valuable feedback and suggestions on growing our capacity to creating a beautiful poster for our business, they truly go above and beyond. We also love that they regularly send us projects and activities to share with our families—completely free! Thanks for empowering us!

I had to download this app just to try to find daycare for us. In my area it gave no number/contact information and many didn't have a location. Nobody responded to my request of information. I had to Google everything and really dig to find anything. I had to find info,which was hard, and call. Doing it that way i got my responses. I also had to call city to get information about some daycares. Some of the places listed on here are closed down as well. This app didn't help whatsoever.
