About Us

We opened our family owned and operated stores in St. Peters in 1994 and Ballwin in 1996. Since then its been our pleasure and privilege, as well as that of our extended family — our incredible, hard working, wonderful staff — to proudly serve thousands and thousands of growing families like yours.

And our business 'family' has grown as well with the addition of our Plato's Closet stores in Kirkwood and Chesterfield. Plato's Closet is your home for the best gently used current, name brand teen and young adult styled clothing and accessories. www.platoscloset.com

We're a little older and a little wiser but we believe in this business and the value we provide to each of you and our communities more than we ever have. Thank you all very much.

Sincerely,
Scott and Joe Dyer
and Everyone at Once Upon A Child
