2. Submit the required documentation to Upwards to confirm eligibility:
a. Yearly training schedule
b. DoD ID numbers for yourself and each child attending care
c. Proof of child's age
3. Submit a care request for the drill dates you need childcare.

TWO THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Spaces are limited each month and go first come, first served. Submit early.

If you need to cancel, tell Upwards in writing at least seven calendar days before your care date and copy your ARNG point of contact. You will not be charged for a late cancellation or a no-show, but repeat occurrences result in a warning, then a six-month suspension, then permanent loss of access.
