About Us


When we started our family, we quickly realized how fast kids grow—and how quickly the costs add up. At Where The Child Things Are, we believe every child deserves the best—and every parent deserves a break on the price tag. Born from our own experience as parents on a budget, we’ve grown into a first-choice source for families, educators, and caregivers who value quality and savings.
