About Us

Our parents always told us how quickly time flies with our children...yes, it's true! Inspired to open this store in Robinson after the birth of my twins Parker and MacKenzie, now 7, followed shortly thereafter by Max, now 6....I have had the privilege to get to know so many people over the past five years, watch their children grow and become a part of our Once Upon A Child family.  We are growing too...our store will undergo several internal design changes to accomodate more inventory with more selection.  We recently added more shoe bins and sections...this summer we will add more clothing racks in preparation for the fall and winter season.  We will continue to carry a selection of new items, and focus our efforts on buying to meet our customers' needs.  We have added more staff this year....all with two goals in mind...first, to improve the efficiency of our buying process, and secondly, to ensure our customers continue to have a positive customer experience in our store.  As we continue to grow our business I value the time you take to share your thoughts and give us your feedback. We learn from every experience.  My sincere thanks and appreciation for your business AND your friendship!
