Franchise-based English language school network for early learners across Europe and Asia
Kids&Us operates a 700+ center franchise network teaching English to children from age 1, serving over 190,000 students across 13 countries. The hiring mix is almost entirely education and teaching roles (319 of 370 active positions), with accelerating velocity and a notable absence of engineering or product headcount—typical of a mature franchise operation focused on center expansion and operational scaling rather than software-driven innovation. Current priorities center on opening 30 new schools annually, optimizing family acquisition, and improving enrollment retention.
Notable leadership hires: Center Director, School Director, Assistant Director, Director, Director Multicentro
Kids&Us is an international language education franchise founded in 2003, headquartered in Manresa, Cataluña. The company teaches English to children through a method modeled on natural language acquisition, combining in-person instruction with technology-enabled home learning. The network spans Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Czechia, Andorra, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia, Mexico, Japan, Vietnam, and Myanmar. Most centers operate as franchises. The tech stack reflects enterprise operational tools (Microsoft 365, Azure, Power BI, SQL) rather than custom platform development, supporting curriculum delivery, center management, and group analytics across a distributed network.
