Sustainable
Every time you sell or shop at Once Upon a Child you help reduce waste and give items a second life. That’s good for your wallet and the planet.
New Grade? Get Paid!
Kids growing out of their clothes faster than you can keep up? Bring in your tees, tanks, jeans, dresses, shoes, toys, and more - and turn yesterday’s outgrown favorites into today’s spending money. We’re always buying current styles in great condition!
Shop Small, Save Big
Each Once Upon a Child is locally owned and operated, which means when you shop with us, you're supporting your community. You’re not just buying and selling, you’re helping a fellow parent, neighbor, or friend.
We’re proud to offer a family-friendly resale experience that’s sustainable, affordable, and easy. Because parenting is busy enough so we’re here to keep things simple.
Employee Testimonials
“I’ve been working here for almost two years because while I am in nursing school the flexible schedule allows me to get my homework done and spend time with the daughter. The employee discount helps me save a ton of money when shopping for her!”

“I really enjoy working here because of the flexible schedule and everyone here is so nice.”
- Lisa S.
“I love that working at Once Upon a Child gives me a discount at all three of our stores! With two growing sons, I started shopping at Once Upon a Child, but now can shop for the whole family at our other brands, too. My kids are very busy with sports, so the flexible schedule allows me to be at all their meets and games!”
