Kids & Company

Most companies weren’t built with working families in mind. We built one that was. Kids & Company began at the kitchen table of Victoria Sopik, CEO & Co-Founder, and has since grown into one of the largest childcare networks in North America, On April 8th, Victoria will be joining journalist and CTV News anchor Marcia MacMillan for a fireside chat at the Top 25 Women of Influence+ Awards Luncheon in Toronto at the Toronto Region Board of Trade. For over a decade, the Top 25 Awards have spotlighted women leading meaningful shifts in business, policy, science, and culture. Victoria is honoured to contribute to that conversation this year.

“We have always led the way in providing true flexibility for working parents. As a mother of eight, I understood firsthand that what parents needed most was support that adapted to their busy lives. While many childcare centres charged steep late fees, we took a different approach: no penalties for unexpected delays. We believed parents shouldn’t have to worry about financial consequences due to a snowstorm or a late train. Our priority has always been to make families feel valued and supported, ensuring their children are well cared for—no questions asked. Flexibility isn't just a policy here; it’s the foundation of how we do business.” - Victoria Sopik, CEO Kids & Company

What a great evening we had with some of our Kids & Company corporate partners at Toronto International Film Festival, seeing the premiere of Better Man - for anyone not familiar with Robbie Williams, he went from UK teen idol to the song we can’t get out of our heads, Angels (https://lnkd.in/gdx_-pax). The movie was incredible - but even better was being able to chat with our corporate partners throughout the evening. We are honoured to partner with TIFF and provide high-quality child care to industry delegates attending the festival.
