About Us
Welcome to our Once Upon a Child – Fort Wayne website. We are Daryl & Kathy Hackworth. We started Once Upon a Child in October 2001, when our youngest child was just turning one. Today our boys, Ben and Ryan, are 15 and 11. They sure do grow fast - and that's the reason we exist!
We started our business because we saw a need in the Fort Wayne area for parents to outfit their children - from clothing to equipment - without breaking the budget. We at Once Upon a Child will provide a fun and convenient way to buy and sell, new and gently used kids stuff focusing on quality, safety, and value.
In these trying times, we believe Once Upon a Child is a Win-Win. Bring your kids stuff in to sell & get credit for items they've outgrown. Buy new clothes, equipment & toys at a fraction of retail prices. We look forward to serving you on your next visit!
