We Are Moving To An Online Platform

Cheers To The Good Ole’ Times – Ready for New Times

==============================================

Dear Belmont Kidz Family,

I want to say thank you for all your support for close to 10 years now. We have chosen to close the storefront and go online and sell @ flea markets. The decision to close was a hard, but necessary one to make and many of you have offered your support. I appreciate that immensely.

Transitioning to an exclusive online platform will allow for Belmont Kidz to continue to provide a means of consignment for new and seasoned parents and further its work as a community resource. We are also excited to be converting to a non-profit organization, which will provide an awesome way for the community to support, even if their kids have “outgrown” the store. If you have items at the store I will keep everything on consignment until end of your contract and continue to advertise your items for sell.

If you’d like to come pick up your things, please drop by, but call first to make sure I’m in, as I will be doing a lot of back and forth trips getting packed up and moving out of the store by August 31st. If you would like to help keep us around, please donate via PayPal: info@belmontkidz.com. Our goal is to raise $3800. All donations are tax-deductible.

Giving and getting,

Belmont Kidz is a community-driven family enrichment center dedicated to offering an alternative to traditional education emphasizing sustainable, holistic, and mindful living.

The store originally opened in 2009 as a children’s consignment store and was brought under new ownership in 2016 by Qiana Jones, a Long Beach-based entrepreneur who took up the mission of revamping a unique resource for the families of Long Beach. With a fresh new energy, Belmont Kidz grew in its community outreach to include creative enrichment classes for children.

Qiana and her husband, Hernan, took the idea of helping local families to heart. Putting a fresh spin on the business, the couple began to offer family-oriented sessions, such as breastfeeding support groups, free weekly puppet shows, and storytelling.

In recent years, the store has evolved into a thriving creative community center where events from book launches, art classes, to dance parties occur, the ideas don’t stop there as consignment owner Qiana Jones never settles in one spot and is constantly hungry for new creative ideas to transform her business.

If you are a new mom and longing for adult talk and social play for your little one you may want to consider coming to one of play dates or play groups held here at Belmont Kidz in Long Beach.

Here is a briefing:

*Baby sign language play group are age appropriate and customized to every play group. Baby signing give us your child a way to communicate when they don’t have the words yet. Less tantrums and headaches! A must try for parents who stay home with baby.

*Music and Movement play groups are age appropriate to each play group. Mama’s have jam session with their little ones that includes of course music instruments and movements.

* Story time is back!!! We have this class as a community service.

So come down and join us.

You can register online or call 572-270-3635.

As many of you know the store is family owned. In January my husband was hit by a car while he was riding on his bicycle. Unfortunately, this accident broke his foot in several places requiring a cage of pins to hold his foot together. So, I have been managing the store, kids, homeschooling, home duties, paying bills all while doing my best to be a loving wife. All this being said.. I will be open mostly for workshops,  appointments for shopping and consignment these next two months as my husband heals.

Humbled. Our dearest Sarah one of our favorite most senior interns who has basically become family has created a gofundme page to help the store stay afloat while all this is happening. Here is the link should you want to help.  Again it is, https://www.gofundme.com/belmont-kidz-needs-your-help.

I will gladly come in any day and time of the week provided I have at least 2-24 hour notice.

You may book an appointment by calling or texting (562) 270-3635

However, I will usually be there at the store Wednesday through Saturday 12-5:30 pm.

Thank you.
