About Us
We’re building the modern village for families.
The Raising Club brings families, caregivers, and programs together with evidence-based guidance—so raising children feels less overwhelming and grounded in what helps them thrive.
Meet Our Founder
Ara V.
Founder & Montessori Educator
Araceli “Ara” Vazquez is an entrepreneur and educator transforming how childcare and early education are understood, delivered, and valued. Raised in Mexico in a family shaped by resilience and entrepreneurship—one that saw education as a path to opportunity—she brings both personal conviction and strategic vision to her work.
As the founder of The Raising Club, she is building modern infrastructure for childhood, connecting families, caregivers, and organizations around a higher standard of care. With a background in Business Administration, a certification in Montessori education, and more than eight years of experience building a successful bilingual education program for children in New York City, Ara brings together an entrepreneurial mind and deep expertise in child development.
Through her work, she is raising both the standard and the economics of childcare—helping caregivers earn more, families access better options, and organizations operate with stronger, more efficient models. She is helping redefine childcare as a high-value sector with the power to drive meaningful economic and social progress at scale.
“When families rise, society rises.”
