Upwards Expands Boost Program to Grow Childcare Supply Across the Bay Area
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Several Bay Area municipalities are expanding efforts to support local childcare providers through the Upwards Boost program. Upwards, a nationwide childcare network, is launching new initiatives in Daly City, Mountain View, County of Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale—joining cities like San Jose, San Mateo, and Palo Alto in strengthening the region's childcare ecosystem. 'I'm proud that Mountain View is partnering with Upwards to give local childcare providers, particularly those in the City, with access to tools that will save them time and help strengthen their businesses," said City of Mountain View Mayor Ellen Kamei. The Boost program provides local childcare providers with free access to business management tools, including a digital platform that automates administrative tasks saving business owners several hours a day. In addition to back-office support, childcare providers can connect with prospective families, schedule in-person and virtual tours and share photos and video updates with enrolled families to keep them informed about their child's day. Childcare providers receive access to curriculum libraries for lesson planning, along with personalized 1:1 coaching to help strengthen and grow their businesses. Smaller providers often lack the resources to advertise and fill available slots. Upwards bridges this gap by offering marketing and family matching services—an often costly barrier for smaller operations. With this support, providers can fill open slots, hire teachers assistants and create more childcare spots for the community. In its first year, the Boost program in San Jose, Northern California's largest city, supported 131 childcare providers. As a result, over 40% of participating providers increased their capacity, and 42 new childcare jobs were created. Through new hiring, expanded licensing, and the opening of new facilities, the program paved the way for more than 220 additional childcare slots. Hiring has been especially critical: even when providers have the space or licensing to serve more children, they often can't open new slots without trained staff. Boost support enabled providers to meet staff-to-child ratio requirements, extend hours, and serve more families in the region. Nancy Thang, a San Jose Boost program provider, recently received positive feedback during an unannounced licensing visit at her daycare. Reflecting on the experience, she shared: 'The Boost program has helped me grow and learn, and I appreciate all the help. It takes a village to have a quality program, and Boost is part of it.' She's one of many providers in San Jose who have benefited from Boost support. In Sunnyvale, the City is thrilled to add the Boost program to uplift their population. 'Small businesses like childcare providers offer vital services to our community and are key to Sunnyvale's economic vibrancy,' said Jennifer Garnett, APR, Chief Public Information Officer for the City of Sunnyvale. 'We are looking forward to enhancing our existing childcare efforts through the Boost program.' 'Childcare is an essential service for our working parents,' said City of Mountain View Mayor Ellen Kamei. 'I'm proud that Mountain View is partnering with Upwards to give local childcare providers, particularly those in the City, with access to tools that will save them time and help strengthen their businesses.' This new collaboration with Upwards reflects the City of Mountain View's continued commitment to expanding and supporting quality childcare options. In addition to Boost, the City operates a childcare center at the Mountain View Senior Center and is among the few cities in the region to offer eight weeks of paid family leave to employees for the birth, adoption, or fostering of a child. Since the program's inception in 2022, Boost has helped over 400 childcare providers across 6 states, created over 130 childcare jobs and increased access to quality childcare for local families. 'We continue to see the Upwards Boost program make a significant impact in the communities it supports, big and small. The addition of Boost in the County of Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and Daly City in the Bay Area reflects a growing trend of local governments responding to childcare needs,' said Jessa Santangelo, VP of Business Development and Community Impact. Childcare providers interested in learning more about the Boost program in their community can visit or contact Upwards at (323) 431-9223. About Upwards: Upwards (formerly WeeCare) is a technology-driven care solutions company with a mission to make care accessible to all families and empower the caregivers who provide it. Upwards brings together families, care providers, employers, and governments to create new care avenues in real-time and utilizes a data-driven approach to enhance the supply and capacity of the care system. Upwards matches families with caregivers equipped to meet their unique needs and connects families with the resources they need to afford care, whether through government subsidies or workplace benefits.

Coloradans Forgo National Banks for Regional Institutions and Alternative Advice Sources Amid Financial Uncertainty, Red Rocks Credit Union Finds
LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new survey from Red Rocks Credit Union reveals that Coloradans are rethinking where they turn for financial guidance—and who they trust. While 75% of residents express concern about retirement and over one-third (36%) report living paycheck to paycheck, a significant number are moving away from national banks in favor of regional credit unions and alternative sources like friends, podcasts, and ChatGPT. In fact, 40% of respondents reported banking with a credit union compared to 54% with a national bank, highlighting a shift toward more community-focused institutions. 'These findings make it clear that Coloradans are feeling the pressure—not just from inflation or housing costs, but from a system that hasn't evolved to meet their daily financial needs,' said Darius Wise, President and CEO of Red Rocks Credit Union. 'They're telling us they want help planning, saving, and managing life's biggest moments—and they're looking for that guidance in new places.' Coloradans' Financial Milestones Reflect Rising Debt and Delayed Goals Among respondents, 34% named paying off debt as their most important upcoming milestone—more than those aiming to retire (21%) or buy a home (21%). This number climbs to 44% for those ages 35–54. For higher earners ($100K+), 27% said their most significant financial milestone is funding a child's college education. Nearly half of part-time workers (47%) described their economic outlook as 'uncertain and anxious,' and overall, 75% of respondents expressed concern that economic instability will impact their personal finances in the coming year. Coloradans Seek Advice Beyond Traditional Institutions Only 51% of respondents feel at least somewhat confident they'll have enough saved for retirement. More than half (55%) rely on friends and family for financial advice, while others turn to CFAs (38%), banks (38%), podcasts (10%), ChatGPT and AI tools (8%), and social media (7%). Generational breakdowns show: 53% of credit union members rely on their institution for financial advice 72% of 18–34-year-olds rely on friends/family; 13% on social media 47% of those 55–64 turn to their financial institution 81% of online bank users lean on friends/family; 19% on social media 'Credit unions are a hidden gem in consumer finance,' added Wise. 'Our role is to help people make smarter decisions, build resilience, and feel confident about the future. That's what enriching lives really means.' What Matters Most in Choosing a Financial Partner Top priorities include excellent customer service (74%) and competitive rates (61%). Yet, trust remains low: only 14% trust their traditional financial institution. Encouragingly, 58% of respondents said they would consider joining a credit union, with that number rising to 68% among users of national banks and 76% among online-only customers. About Red Rocks Credit Union Red Rocks Credit Union has been serving Colorado communities since 1979 with a mission to enrich lives through personalized financial solutions, compassionate service, and community leadership.
