Inspired by the wonder, joy and WTF of motherhood, two Miami moms and entrepreneurs introduce State of Kid, a new brick-and-mortar concept for parents and children up to age five. Inaugurated on September 14th, State of Kid brings together the most sought-after children’s retail brands and the most in-demand class instructors under one roof. With a curated collection of clothing, accessories and decor, educational workshops for parents, and enrichment activities for children, this is a one-stop-shop built to make parents’ lives easier.
Centrally located in the Miami Design District, State of Kid offers a range of children’s classes from music, dance and yoga to crafts, science, cooking and more. In addition, the unrivaled schedule features classes exclusively for parents, from prenatal yoga and lactation consultation to postpartum discussions and CPR. Because parenting comes with enough rules, State of Kid offers a booking model that allows unprecedented flexibility, with a wide variety of classes that do not require long-term commitments. Families can pay as they go or purchase class packs; they can book ahead or drop in.
“As parents of young children, we’ve learned that the minute we figure something out, it changes,” says Alana Oxfeld, Co-Founder. “Whether it’s sleep, activities, interests or clothing sizes, nothing ever stays the same. We created State of Kid to be a balance point in parents’ always-moving, ever-changing universe.”
“We’re here to make parenting a little less stressful and a lot more fun,” adds Cheryl Gonzalez, Co-Founder. “When it comes to both products and enrichment, State of Kid help parents keep up with the rapid pace that children grow and evolve.”
At State of Kid, parents come to play and stay to shop. Whether they are looking for a thoughtful gift or a stylish new wardrobe for their young ones, State of Kid offers a hand-picked selection from the top American, European and Australian children’s designers. Select brands include Rylee & Cru, Munster Kids, Hux Baby, NUNUNU, Louise Misha, Tiny Whales, Veja, Lorena Canals and Meri Meri, among others. In addition, State of Kid has an area dedicated to personalization. Shoppers can customize blankets, backpacks, duffels, diaper packs and more.
