About Us


After opening the Burlington Once Upon A Child in 1994, Karen Wright decided the greater Hamilton community needed to share in the fun of what Once Upon a Child has to offer. We opened on Hamilton mountain across from Limeridge Mall in January of 1996 and just recently moved into South Hamilton Square in the plaza with Zellers and Fortino's at 1550 Upper James St to a bigger and better location.

We strive to make customer service our number one priority and to help achieve that our staff are well trained in all of our products. This ensures that our customers are making well informed purchases.

Our goal is to buy as much quality merchandise as possible to give you our customer a great selection at a great price. Our standards are high because that is what our customers demand and deserve.

Come share in our fun and come often since our selection of new and gently used kids stuff is constantly changing.
