115 W Jefferson Ave, Naperville“We walked by the store on a sunny Saturday afternoon and saw these beautiful sparkly pink shoes. My twin granddaughters asked if we could go inside. They do not like to shop but were drawn by the shoes and the wonderful women who measured their feet. Our experience was beyond fabulous. Going forward I will be back with my 5 year old girls!!”
“I went in looking for a specific color of Ruffle Butts leggings. I had researched and found they did carry the Ruffle Butts brand. I found the display but it was pretty limited. I guess you have to know someone to know when new stock arrives because there were only selected sizes of most of the items. If it was the size you were looking for, then you hit the jackpot, otherwise, I guess I will just have to plan to visit often to try and catch something new and cute. The woman who helped me was very nice and we did find a piece that had the pattern that I was trying to match the color so, although they did not have the color I wanted, she did suggest an alternative that worked just fine. This store requires you to take your time and look. As I am becoming more familiar with children's clothing brands I discovered this store had some cute lines that I will need to keep an eye on.”
“Such an adorable baby store! We just had our first baby, and this has quickly become our favorite place to visit. Every time we stop by, the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. One time, a girl assisted me in finding an item I had seen on their Instagram page, and she was so sweet and helpful! Even before our baby arrived, they did a fantastic job helping us find baby shower and birthday gifts for my niece. We will definitely keep coming back!”

1931 Glacier Park Ave, Naperville“Good value for money if you are looking for branded stuff here. The quality and prices for items on sale here are similar to what you would get at Burrington. Rack after rack of clothes.”
“I went into this location last minute to find outfits for a trip I was leaving for the next day. I had minimum time to shop because I had to be to work within an hour. Matt (I believe that’s his name) stopped me and let me know that he’s available if I needed help. After walking in circles I finally asked for his assistance. Within 15 minutes we had several outfits paired together that matched shoes I already owned. Typically when I shop without trying on, majority of my purchase is returned. Everything fit and looked good together. Thank you so much Matt, you’re a life saver!!!”
“Once Upon a Child is an amazing store for parents looking to buy or sell gently used children’s items. The selection here is fantastic—they offer a wide variety of kids’ clothing, toys, shoes, and baby gear, all in excellent condition and at a fraction of the cost of buying new. It’s a perfect spot to find quality items without breaking the bank, and the inventory is constantly rotating, so there’s always something new to discover.
The store is well-organized, making it easy to browse by size, season, or item type. I was impressed by how clean everything was, and the staff clearly takes the time to ensure that only the best products make it to the shelves.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they make the buying and selling process incredibly smooth. If you’re selling, they inspect items thoroughly but fairly and offer reasonable prices based on condition and demand. It’s a great way to declutter while getting some value back for things your kids have outgrown.
One thing I love about Once Upon a Child is that it’s both eco-friendly and budget-friendly. You’re not only saving money but also contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle by reusing high-quality items.
Whether you’re looking for great deals on kids’ essentials or trying to offload gently used clothes and toys, Once Upon a Child is a fantastic option. Highly recommend for parents and caregivers!”
“What an adorable store! The clothing and toys are high quality and timeless, and the owner is so helpful and friendly. It’s the perfect addition to downtown Naperville and a place I’m excited to shop at again and again - both for my own kids and for gifts!”
