Wish List

​

Every day we grow as a childcare center and our teachers grow with it. New small and large groups arise, the curriculum we use updates and the toys and supplies we have grow old. We do need certain materials to succeed as a childcare center but we also wish we could get the awesome things we see for all of our children here at Mary Lee Johnston. So here is our Wish List! If you see something on here that you have and don't need, that you saw at the store and know it'll make a our little ones happy, or know someone who has it, please let us know or bring it on in. The joy it will bring the kiddos here and the ones to come is endless!
