  Kids & Company: Entering the U.S.

  Boris Groysberg, Sarah Mehta and Matthew Preble

  This video supplement pairs with “Kids & Company: Entering the U.S.” (case no. 418011). It contains eight individual clips that range in length from 5 to 12 minutes. Instructors can use the videos, either in whole or in part, as an additional teaching element.
  The case is set in April 2017. It finds Victoria Sopik and Jennifer Nashmi, CEO and CFO (respectively) of Kids & Company—a Canadian childcare provider that they had co-founded in the early 2000s and developed into a nearly 100-unit enterprise—discussing how the company should proceed with its planned U.S. expansion. Kids & Company already has five U.S. childcare centers in and around Chicago, Illinois, and one under construction in Boston, Massachusetts, but before going any further, the two leaders plan to discuss what they have learned so far from their U.S. experience and how that should inform their strategic growth decisions moving forward.
