In 1976 when Tamar Helmick, Second Childhood's new owner, was three years old, her mom, Cecily Purdin, got a great idea! Second Childhood....a place where people could sell their children's clothing, so quickly outgrown, but still in great shape and in current style!
|
 |
| Here was a way for young mothers to realize some return on monies spent on that adorable clothing that is soooo hard to resist! And a place to buy great, cute, stylish clothing at affordable prices! Second Childhood was born! |
|
Today, almost 3 decades later, Second Childhood has maintained a reputation as a wonderfully attractive store, packed with wonderful quality clothing from size preemie to young teen.
Our customers know that we only take items in excellent shape and in style, and they do a great job of spreading the word for us, keeping us always growing and on our toes!

We strive to bring the best to you, and the only way that happens is for new consignors to constantly discover us and find out for themselves what fun it can be to earn$$$ at Second Childhood, as well as to spend them with us! |

| Our original shop opened in 1976 on the west side of Kalamazoo. We moved three times on the west side, gaining more space each move, and computerizing in 1988, to keep up with the times. In 1993, we opened our much larger store in the Carillon Centre in Portage. We moved again in 2009 to the Sam's Club Plaza to again gain more space. Bright, cheery and beautiful, offering a play area for the kids and new store atmosphere, we encourage you to visit us and see for yourself why we are so proud of Second Childhood! |
