Kids & Company Celebrates 20 Years of Redefining Care in Canada and US

Kids & Company, Canada's most innovative child care provider, is today celebrating 20 years of redefining the child care experience for families. Nearly two years into a global pandemic—amid rapid changes to where and how people do their jobs— the company continues to pioneer new solutions to meet parents' evolving needs. Kids & Company (kidsandcompany.com) started in 2002, when Victoria Sopik (a mother of eight) and Jennifer Nashmi (a mother of three) opened a single location in downtown Toronto, with four employees and a single corporate client. The initial focus was on back-up care, servicing parents who found themselves in unexpected pinches, but they soon saw the opportunity in expanding to offer a broader range of truly flexible, quality child care. Growth quickly followed. Today, Kids & Company has 110 centres in 44 cities across Canada and in two U.S. states. To date, the company has served more than 100,000 families and partnered with more than 200 corporations, and earned Platinum status in the elite Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.
