About Us
Toys Go 'Round has come a long way since their "milk crate
shelves" beginnings in 1992. A group of committed child care
providers began this local non-profit with the idea of sharing quality
toys and equipment for the youngsters in their care. They felt it was important
that all children have the opportunity to learn through play utilizing a
wide variety of toys.
