The Founding Operators Program
We are building Sprout & Vine in public, with the Canadian childcare operators who will use it every day. Founding members get early access, founding pricing, and a real voice in what we build.
What you get
More than early access.
Founding pricing, locked for life
Founding members receive a permanent discount off standard pricing. The rate you join at is the rate you keep, no matter how we grow.
Direct input on the roadmap
You help decide what gets built next. Monthly calls with our founding team, feature request priority, and a direct line to the people building this.
Early access before public launch
Founding members get access to the platform before it opens to the public. You will be running on Sprout and Vine while others are still on the waitlist.
Founding Operator recognition
Your centre is recognized in the platform and in our communications as a founding member. You helped build this. That matters.
Who this program is for
Licensed childcare centres in any Canadian province or territory

Aspiring operators planning to open within the next 12 months

Common questions
Is the platform built yet?
We are building it now. The Founding Operators Program exists so that the people who understand this work every day can shape what gets built. We will share our progress openly, and founding members get access as features become ready.
What does founding pricing mean exactly?
Founding members lock in a discounted rate that they keep for as long as they remain on the platform. We will share specific numbers during your founding call once we have reviewed your application.
How many founding spots are available?
We are keeping the founding cohort small intentionally. We want to be genuinely responsive to every founding member, and that requires a manageable group to start.
I am not yet open. Can I still apply?
Yes. If you are planning to open a childcare centre within the next 12 months, we would love to hear from you. The Seeds tier of our platform is designed specifically for aspiring operators.
What happens if I do not like the platform?
Nothing is signed. There is no commitment until you choose to move forward. The application is a conversation starter, not a contract.
