Employee of the month: Kelly!


[one of her favorite gifts to suggest: Shrinky Dinks Fairy Garden]

July Employee of the Month: Kelly!

Kelly has been at Kids Club since May 2010


Here is what Kelly's co-workers had to say about her:

'Kelly is a very positive person. She is a ray of sunshine!'

'She is always ready to do a project and learn something new.'

'She is fantastic with children and at helping customers make really good gift selections.'

'She is a team player!'

Fun fact about Kelly: She is an anthropology major at UW and she has really been enjoying digging bones out of dirt in her labs.

GREAT JOB KELLY!

You can bring your pooch to Kids Club!

It's true! Kids Club is a dog-friendly store, and so are most of  the stores in U Village. Feel free to bring your dog(s) along with you on your next shopping trip. We love when doggies visit us! We even keep treats under the counter for any pup that's allowed to have some. 

Got Tricks?
If your dog knows any tricks, let us see them! One of our favorite pups, a standard poodle knows how to 'bow to your sensei'. My dog Brutus has been seen dancing in the store on his hind legs quite often, once while wearing a tutu!

A while back, a cute pair of dachshunds strolled on into the store in the basket of an UPPAbaby Vista stroller, giving us yet another reason why we love this stroller; It can carry 3 kids at once, and 2 small pups!


If you find yourself walking around the Village with your dog and you aren't sure which shops are okay to bring him/  or her into, look for this decal in the window:
