Kids & Company

“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.

On August 17th, we kicked off our first Kids & Company Community Clean Up Day in Victoria, B.C., marking the beginning of a series of impactful Green Projects. Taking place at our Annual Beacon Hill Family Picnic, our families united to clean up a local park and learn about the important role of pollinators. Our goal was to kick off our Green Projects with an initiative that reflects our belief to show how small, localized efforts can create significant and lasting impacts. Parks are central to community life, serving as spaces for families to gather, children to play, and individuals to connect with nature. Learn more https://lnkd.in/giauE4T5
