Founding Pilot
Childcare coverage, ready when you need it.
Join a limited group of Ontario childcare centres and educators helping shape The Reserve Rooster before wider launch.
Reserve Rooster is a childcare workforce network designed to make relief coverage easier to find, organize, and manage — without replacing the centre's role as the employer.
For Centres
Build your relief roster before you need it.
Find qualified childcare educators for casual, relief, and short-term coverage — without starting from scratch every time someone calls in sick.
With Reserve Rooster, centres can:
- Post coverage needs
- Search available educators
- Build a preferred Reserve Roster
- Invite educators directly
- Manage bookings and onboarding
- Keep key documents organized
- Reconnect with educators you trust
Your centre remains responsible for hiring decisions, payroll, employment relationships, and regulatory obligations.
Your call. Our roster.
For Educators
Be ready when local centres need coverage.
Create one professional profile, share your availability, and connect with participating childcare centres looking for casual and short-term educators.
Educators can:
- Create a professional profile
- List qualifications and experience
- Set availability
- Receive invitations from centres
- Manage upcoming bookings
- Complete onboarding information
- Build relationships with centres you enjoy working with
Reserve Rooster does not employ educators. Centres hire and pay educators directly.

Relief coverage shouldn't depend on a last-minute scramble.
Childcare centres often need coverage quickly.
At the same time, qualified educators may be available for occasional, casual, or relief work — but centres and educators do not always have an easy way to find one another.
Reserve Rooster brings those two sides together in one Ontario-focused network.
Instead of relying only on last-minute phone calls, spreadsheets, social-media groups, or individual contact lists, centres can build a dependable relief roster over time.
The Founding Pilot
90 days to use it, test it, and help shape what comes next.
The Founding Pilot is a limited 90-day opportunity for selected Ontario childcare centres and educators to use Reserve Rooster before broader release.
During the pilot:
- Access is free
- No payment information is required
- No automatic charges will occur
- Participants can use the core platform
- Feedback will help shape future features and workflows
We may occasionally ask participants what worked well, what felt unclear, and what would make Reserve Rooster more useful in real childcare operations.
Built for Childcare
Designed for the realities of Canadian childcare.
Reserve Rooster is being built specifically for childcare environments, relief educators, Montessori programs, independent centres, and other early learning settings that need dependable short-term coverage.
Starting in Ontario. Built to grow across Canada.
Clear by Design
A workforce connection platform — not the employer.
Reserve Rooster is a connection, credential, onboarding, and workforce-network platform.
It is not a staffing agency, employer of record, or payroll provider.
Centres remain responsible for:
- Employment decisions
- Payroll
- Statutory deductions and remittances
- Workplace policies
- Regulatory requirements
- Determining whether an educator is appropriate for their program
Educator-provided qualifications and documents are displayed according to the platform's verification and privacy settings.
Limited Founding Cohort
We're starting small on purpose.
We are beginning with a limited group of centres and educators so we can support the pilot closely and refine the platform based on real-world use.
