Lakeshore Learning Store

BEST PLACE EVER. Last night was my first time here and I loved it. The store is great it has a lot of different materials. But the best part was Amy. I had a lot of things to buy and laminate for a school and Amy from the store helped me laminate everything. They taught me how to use it and helped me laminate because I just had that much stuff to laminate. They also helped me get discounts and save big on my purchases. I’m not a teacher or anything close to it but this place makes me want to be.

Went there today with my wife and two kids (1 and 3) and I was impressed. They have a lot of educational toys, musical toys, and toys to improve motor skills. I will do most of my toy shopping a this store from now on as opposed to going to Wal-​Mart, buy buy baby, or toys r us.

As a 3^rd grade teacher, I walk into this place and it is like heaven! A very expensive heaven however! Granted, if you’re buying for one child, it’s not too bad, but when you’re buying to supply your class, it can get pricey. I come here a lot for reward pencils, poster boards, calendar materials, alphabet charts, times table charts, supplemental books, you know everything that comes out of MY OWN POCKET — but I always try to hit them up during a sale! (That was just a psa for everyone that thinks teachers have it easy — where do you think we get everything for the kiddies and who do you think pays for it!) This place is a zoo in august, so i try to pick up what i can throughout the year, but i inevitably end up here in August fighting for a parking spot, on the laminator line forever angry at the person in front of me who wants to laminate 3,000 tiny stars, and waiting equally as long on the cashier line! EVEN SO, I LOVE THIS PLACE!
If you’re a new teacher, getting started, this is your go to place!

This store has some really cool toys with great ideas for learning tots. The store is laid out in a very organized manner, and you can find a bargain in some of their special sales. That being said, the stuff isn’t cheap, but the quality is also there, so it’s worth it.
When we went, there was a manager there who was usually located in the Cherry hill store, but was up here covering for the regular managers on vacation. He was super nice, super helpful, and made several great recommendations. We ended up mistakenly buying something that was not on sale, so we had planned to return it and re-​purchase it w/​a coupon (buy 1 get one 50% off) that wouldn’t go into effect until Nov. 1. However, when we explained our reasoning, the manager said that he was going to just apply the coupon now (so that we wouldn’t return the current toy and so we could purchase the new toy at 50% off).
This was very cool of him, and much appreciated above and beyond customer service. The other employees were fine (normal) but this guy (sorry I didn’t catch his name) really went above and beyond and we ended up spending a LOT more $$$ in that store than we had planned to — partially because of the cool merchandise, but mostly because of the awesome customer service and recommendations.
Live on Lakeshore Learning Store!

Great place to get K-​8 educational items and supplies.
They have a lot of really good graphic organizers and other things to organize your classroom.
Ironically they are not the friendliest customer service people you will encounter consider the clientele, but it’s a useful place.
