A real orientation we built for a sample center. Yours is customized with your brand, policies, and photos.

Built for early learning centers like these

The real problem

Most centers don't have a staff problem. They have an orientation problem.

New hires start with a rushed walkthrough, a handbook they may not fully read, and verbal reminders from the director. Then things slip.

Director repeating the same instructions

You repeat yourself constantly

Every new hire means explaining the same expectations, routines, and policies from scratch, again.

New hire overwhelmed by scattered papers

Your policies are scattered

Handbook here, checklist there, "ask a lead" for the rest. New staff can't find what they need, so they don't.

New teacher unsure in the classroom

Confusion hits the classroom

Unclear first weeks mean shaky starts, more mistakes, and new teachers who feel lost in week one.

Step 3

Share your link

You review and revise, then share the link with new hires. We host and keep it updated.

Made to actually get used, and fully supported.

This is not another tool you have to set up and babysit. We build it, we host it, and we keep it working, so your team just uses it.

Built by a childcare operator, for childcare centers.

Onboard Buddy's lead coach, Monique Rouege, has spent 25+ years owning and operating three early childcare centers. She has lived every part of the new hire problem this solves: hiring, training, and keeping real staff. So we don't hand you software and wish you luck. We build the orientation experience for you, and review every build by hand.

What directors say

Loved by the people who run the room.

Our new hires used to spend their whole first week confused. Now they walk in already knowing our routines and expectations. I finally stopped repeating myself.

Sonjia Brown-Joseph
Owner and Director, Clara's Little Lambs
★★★★★

I handed them our messy handbook and a few photos. What came back was a clean, branded orientation my staff actually finish. It felt done-for-you, because it was.

Shaniqua Ingram
Owner and Director, Early Steps Learning Center
★★★★★

Same price across both of our sites, and they host and update everything. My directors love it and I barely think about onboarding anymore.

Kristi Givens
Owner and Director, Kids of Excellence
★★★★★

One build. One flat monthly.

One time payment to build it, then a simple monthly to keep it hosted and updated. Same price for multiple sites.

Hire someone to build your orientation: weeks of work, plus a salary
Generic training software: monthly fees, and you still do all the setup
Re-explain everything to every new hire: hours of director time, forever

Or we just build it for you, once.

Our honest promise: if the first preview misses the mark, we revise the direction with you, or we part ways with no hard feelings. The goal is a kit your center actually uses, not a trap.

We build every kit by hand, so we only take a few new centers each month. No per classroom math. Cancel the monthly anytime.

+ Is this just a website?

No. It's a guided orientation experience, sections, checklists, quizzes, and a completion certificate, built around how your center runs. New hires move through it step by step.

+ Do I have to write everything myself?

No. You send what you have and we do the shaping. We turn your policies and routines into clear, staff friendly language. Anything you want kept word for word, we keep.

+ What if my handbook is messy?

Messy is normal and completely fine. Pulling the scattered pieces into one clear path is exactly the job you're hiring us for.

+ What if I have multiple sites?

Same price. As long as your sites use the same core orientation, it stays $1,500 + $97/month, with no per location fees.

+ Can I use my own photos, or do you use cartoons?

Your choice. We offer a soft, friendly illustrated style or a real photo professional style using your own staff and classroom photos.

+ How long does it take?

Most first versions are ready in about 7 to 10 days after you send your materials. Then you get a 30 day window to review and revise before the monthly starts.

+ What happens after I book?

You answer a few quick questions and we send you a free Staff Onboarding Checklist right away. On the call we map your onboarding and show how your kit would work.

+ What does the $97/month cover?

Hosting, maintenance, content updates, and support, so your orientation stays live, current, and handled instead of a file that goes stale.

+ What if I'm not tech savvy?

You don't build or manage anything. We handle setup, hosting, and updates. You get a link to share. That's it.

Worst case, you leave with a clear picture of what your orientation is missing, plus our free onboarding checklist. Best case, your new hires get a clear first week and you stop repeating yourself.
