We are proud to be family owned and operated!!

We are Newport News natives and parents of small children. We know that money does not grow on trees and children never stop growing. At Once Upon A Child® we offer parents a fun and convenient way to buy and sell gently used kids stuff, making saving money on children's clothes, toys, baby furniture and equipment a reality every day. We focus on quality, safety, and value – the same things you feel are important for your own families.

Our customers want quality children’s clothing and we’re excited that we can offer discounts up to 70% off of original retail prices. We strive to offer a fun and convenient way to sell your gently used items. Whether you’re buying or selling, we would love to help you find what you’re looking for. We offer payment on-the-spot for items we select that meet current style, safety and condition standards. We maintain high merchandise standards by thoroughly inspecting all toys and equipment for any safety recalls.
