Lakeshore Learning Store

Since I no longer travel to Towson as much as I used to, this Lakeshore is closer to my apartment. This is a teacher’s paradise! I was able to get things that will help with classroom instruction and management. There was so many items for all grade levels. Sign up for the text messages to receive great deals.

This is my go to resource store since we began homeschooling. Excellent customer service and a great selection. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is the prices. Thankfully they have fantastic coupon programs and sales to offset the rates.

What can I say at lakeshore… My wife is a teacher and she mandates that we go to lakeshore at least twice a year. She gets stars in her eyes just walking down the aisles. She’s like a fat kid in a candy store! I suppose that if you have a need for this stuff, it could probably become addictive. They have all sorts of stuff for bulletin boards… Calendars and whatnot. My wife really likes the laminating option. She isn’t really satisfied with the stuff that her school does for her. She’s a bit anal about her stuff and likes to be able to do it herself. I gave it 4 stars because the stuff is expensive! I feel like because they have a corner on the market, they inflate their prices. You know… Cuz teachers make so much money!

I like shopping for kids’ gift here as they specialized in educational toys. I also bought school workbooks here for my son. I like that their layout as they arrange their items by subjects and the appropriate ages for the items. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I love teacher supply stores — anyone can come and check out their products — teachers, parents, tutors, etc. They have products for active play, arts & crafts, manipulatives, children’s books, classroom furniture, things for dramatic play, software, resources for language/​social studies,/mathematics/science, instruments and materials for music, puzzles and games, as well as accessories for teachers (such as pocket charts, activity walls, bins, etc.). I am a fan of their Social Studies Resource Boxes, their Reading Comprehension activity cards, and their Math Bingo Library set. They also have printables, flash cards maker, word search maker, and other templates available for teachers on their website. Educators can also save extra discounts when they join the ‘Teacher’s Club,’ and if you show your school badge, you save even more. They also have a laminating machine on the premise and have in-​store events and activities that are for the general public.

Lakeshore Learning is an educational store that seems to specialize in educational supplies and equipment that leans toward preschool and elementary level education. This is not to say that parents cannot find educational games and such for their children; in fact, this place has items that serve as a nice alternative to your average video game. So if you wish to find something for your classroom or an educational game, this is an excellent stop. My only issue with this place is that some of the items in this store can be a bit overpriced.

When I moved to Alexandria, from Georgia, this was one of my biggest thrills! I am a teacher, and a grandmother. They have the nicest staff, the best learning toys, and a great location. My grandson just got the Real Bamboo Blocks and loves them. He is 5 and was visiting from Savannah. I turned him loose in the store, and let him choose. He looked and looked before making his choices. And… I get coupons all the time!

It’s helpful to have a Lakeshore store nearby. Even though I’m not a teacher anymore (thank god) I still stop by for things that can be used as gifts for kids

This is hands down the best store in the Springfield area to get educational items for my child. The items they have are not only fun but, they are educational. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I really enjoy the store. The prices are reasonable.

I love this store. They have really great, high quality things that I have or want to have for my classroom. I also get a lot of ideas for things I want to make myself. Why spend the money when you can make it for a fraction of the cost right? Actually, to save time, I know. I love browsing stores and this has to be one of my favorites because I don’t feel guilty! It’s all for a good cause right?
