Lakeshore Learning Store

Thank you so much Thalia for Being an amazing help for me. I panicked had a last minute science project and I did not know the first thing as to what to do. She took the time to help me in picking the beat materials for my kids project and the material were affordable! Thank you so much for all your help. Great place great customer service.

Great service. I was greeted when I first came in the door.
I found everything I was there for. Great selection. Some good deals and some prices are high. Clean bathroom.

Great back to school sale with everything I needed at a discount! Lamination is super easy and the best price in town at only 39 cents per foot if you are a member. Will definitely be going back!

It is always a pleasure going into Lakeshore Learning Store. One word that describes the place is DISNEYLAND. It is Disneyland for teachers! I wanted to buy everything when I went in there. From the awesome bug set to the different bingo sets.
Customer Service: The customer service was amazing and the employees were very helpful. They helped me look for everything and spent some time to ask what I was using the stuff. I appreciate that as a customer.
Pricing: It is a little pricey, but whenever I go to Lakeshore I make sure to go when there is a sale or I have a good coupon.
Overall, it is an awesome place to go to.

I enjoy coming here, they have a great selection of books, educational toys, educational books for teachers and non teachers. I’ve purchased many things here and are also part of their free program which offers incentives via text message or email. I get some good deals buy one get the other 50 percent off, or 20 percent off. It comes in handy as their prices can be a lil pricier than other stores.
The girls working here are wonderful, they are very personable, they love to help you, they answer all your questions and they realllly take their time to help you and find what your looking for.
I made a very big purchase for my son here and the item I purchased has been the best investment I made, we use it on a daily basis. He is really learning a lot.
Also, on Saturdays they have arts and crafts, I’ve yet to try this but definitely will be looking forward to going soon.
Great store, great people, great selection of items to choose from.

I like that there is so much to look at here. Even if I can’t afford to buy a lot of things for my class, I get ideas. Also I can make a wish list for my class.
If you check in you can get a discount. Also you can sign up for texts and they will send you offers.
Right now they have lots of discounts all over the store. Plus they also offer craft classes for kids.
It’s a great place to come.

This is an excellent resource for teachers and alike for educational products for typical and non typical children (clinically diagnosed).
From short stories to games you can find it all here. I wish there one on this side of the valley as every time I go out to Northridge it reminds of me of the terror experienced during the 1994 quake… oh memories of fear and PTSD.
Plenty of parking in the back and friendly staff. If I recall correctly LAUsD teachers get a discount on the products, but they shouldn’t have to spend extra money they barely make any to begin with. Heal the world make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race.

I love Lakeshore! It is a one stop shop for children’s learning tools!
I have a 26 month old who knows his shapes, colors, can count to 25, his abcs (months ago) and can identify numbers 1 – 9 and most of the alphabet. He is just too smart! He loves to paint and do crafts and sing (and anything active as well). To foster his curiousity and encourage him to keep learning we come here.
This store is so orgnanized — but just incase you can’t find something one of the excellent employees will eagerly help. One gal anticipated my need (maybe it was the confused look on my face). She was so kind and efficient.
The store has many opportunities for children to try/​play with their products — awesome! It was also colorful amd had great age appropriate music playing in the background.
Today we came home with art supplies, flash cards, a great bag for all of my son’s balls and some wooden blocks!

Great place to shop for kids, they have a good selection of toys that are fun and educational, which is a BIG plus!
PROS:
Friendly customer service
Private parking lot in back
Discounts on website, Unilocal check-​in
They offer a free monthly (?) class/​activity for little ones
CONS:
You can probably find most items cheaper online
Nice break from the usual Toys R Us run and there have been some great gifts my nephew loves, which some of us adults love playing with as well :), i.e. Marbulous Marble Run.

Is everything they sell made in China???
I ordered four items from Lakeshore Learning off their website, and when they came every one of them says Made In China. Very disappointing. I’m sure there are educational games and toys that are made somewhere other than China.

The store is organized and packed with great merchandise as well. The employees are sweet and helpful.

I dont get something, why the hell can you only use coupons on regular priced items?
I use coupons here and there at supermarkets and departmemt stores and its nice to pair coupons with sale items, right? But not at Lakeshore… NOOOoooooo, every other place on the planet lets you use them anytime. But not Lakeshore!!! Thats total B.S.

I would love this store if the associated didn’t hound me as SOON as I stepped in the door. Not only that, one associate trailed me the entire time. I ended up getting a discount with Unilocal which was nice. and the parking is great, too.
but otherwise, the store has a vast selection of things to help children learn.

Great place for some educational goodies for the little one. Since summer is upon us and school is out I figured it would be great to get some workbooks so she can keep her chops up over summer vacation. This store has it all, math materials, reading writing and even some fun educational games. Best of all they have a nice private lot in the back.

Very helpful and excellent costumer service. I had an online coupon that I received which wasn’t working. The cashier was very helpful and instructed me on how to get a 20% off coupon and free tote bag. On top of that he suggested other great gift ideas to include with my purchase. They have great gift ideas here too!

Easy parking. Huge selection of learning materials AND art supplies. Sign up for the teachers club for discounts and notifications for sales! I love this store!!!

I love coming to this store to get quality learning tools and games for my Daughter. She also loves coming here. They have anything and everything you could want or need for Children to learn. From games to grafts and books it’s great. I love this place!

I love lakeshore. I am an elementary school teacher so I totally geek out in this place.

A large selection of teaching materials that are relatively well organized (predominately organized by skill: ie. math, gross motor skills, music, etc.). Two
Things, they are a little pricey, even with the teachers discount they offer, and they don’t seem to be cross organized by age level in each subsection. But the staff is friendly and helpful to mostly overcome this.

It’s that time of the year again where teachers flock to stores like Lakeshore and hand over their hard-​earned cash to supply their classrooms with basic necessities that the school district should be supplying but don’t. But that’s for another forum.
Lakeshore is a teacher’s dream. It has pretty much everything I need for my new job — i.e., empty classroom. But everything is so darn expensive. Luckily, most of the items right now are discounted by 20% for a limited time. And you also get a discount for the rest of the year by signing up for their teacher’s club.
I bought some posters and decided to have them laminated in the store. One of the young staffers helped me with that, and he was so nice. In fact, everyone in the store was nice.
I left with a very full cart, and the one thing I hated is that they don’t have an automatic entrance/​exit door. I had to push the door with my hand, keep it propped with my foot, and then drag my cart along behind me. How very antiquated — just like the L.A. public school I work at.
