In How I Built the Largest Daycare Network in North America All While Raising Eight Kids, Victoria Sopik shares how her experience as a working mother inspired her to reimagine childcare and build what would become the largest daycare network in North America.
Guided by a belief that parents deserve reliable, high-quality care and real flexibility, Victoria created a model that introduced guaranteed spots, removed punitive policies, and partnered directly with employers to support working families.
As Kids & Company scaled nationally, Victoria navigated early financing challenges and learned the importance of staying closely connected to cash flow, growth planning, and long-term sustainability. Surrounding herself with trusted advisors who could explain options and guide major decisions gave her the confidence to keep moving forward.
Victoria’s story shows how designing a business around real human needs — and leading with flexibility, intention, and financial clarity can create both impact and scale.
