I love coming here for many reasons; 1. they have everything I need and then some! 2. You can say I’ve become a regular here so I have had the pleasure of getting to know all the employees. I have always had positive encounters with each one and they are very helpful when I needed items for a child with ADHD, they pointed out items that could help keep them busy and they worked great! 3. I also have done orders through their corporate office and they offer great incentives to purchase from them! 4. I read an earlier review discussing their unpleasant experience about a product not meeting their expectations and being faulty. Although this has rarely happened to me when I need to return/exchange something. They have always given me a replacement for the faulty item without any hassle. I have never experienced arguing or refusal to return or exchange an item. I love this store and their employees just make it even better!

Pricey stuff, but I love this store. If you sign up for their text messages, it seems like they have a promotion going on almost every single week making prices more affordable. Staff is always helpful and store is always clean. A++

I’ve spent a lot of money here over the past two years and am generally satisfied but my last experience has really annoyed me. We bought some of the dot art paints a $ 20 product just so our daughter could«paint» while being moderately supervised — like I’m making dinner or doing dishes and she’s at the kitchen table. The product was disappointing — the foam tips on 2 dotters(is that a word?) came off within 5 minutes and they are useless without them. The colors are also off. The black is really green, yellow is orange, green is goopy. When I called today to talk to someone about it the person who answered the phone said«oh, well we have more for sale»… um thanks? When I asked if they would give me a discount or credit or offer me something she said«we don’t do that». You don’t stand behind your products? Well, okay. I won’t stand behind businesses that don’t treat customers like they have value. I can get the SAME product on Amazon for five dollars cheaper and free shipping plus Amazon would take a defective product back with no questions asked. Cool to be able to shop but not worth the money.

As an elementary teacher, I easily spent 10% of my salary with this company: mostly on beginning-of-year décor and centers items. As a middle school teacher, most of the merchandise here is no longer appropriate for the age level of my students. But I go back annually for their teacher planner! Simple and organized without extra boxes and spaces I don’t need, it with plenty of extra pages for note-taking during parent conferences and staff meetings. This book goes with me everywhere between August and June. This location is a bit bigger than others I’ve been to, but it’s the only one in the Las Vegas area and completely across town from me– so I’ll likely stick to ordering online. Join their e-club at your own risk, as you’ll get discounts and sales alerts… but they’ll flood all forms of communication you allow: email, snail mail, and text. It’s a bit overkill.

It’s high-priced, but you can’t beat the selection. Seriously, if you are planning any projects with kids(including babies/toddlers), Lakeshore has all the supplies you need. Or you could just buy a ready-made project kit and not even have to mess with the supplies. But yes, it is overpriced. I think if you know what you want, and have the patience, you could get everything cheaper online.

I LOVE this place! I would spend my entire paycheck at this store for my students if I could. I shop at this location about 4 times a year spending about 200 $ each visit. They offer plenty of coupons and discounts. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The store is neat, organized, and well stocked. They have a laminator for your convenience and a Smartboard where you can sample computer programs and games. It is a very kid friendly store as well. I could just as easily order the same products online through their website but the employees offer the personal service that you just can’t get online.

This is a parent/teacher paradise. The kids loved it too and didn’t want to leave! In a nutshell: educational toys galore for every age group. Workbooks for any subject imaginable for every age group, grouped according to subject. Hard-to-find melissa and doug items(not just puzzles). Classroom supplies including decoration, art supplies, workbooks and more. Theres a section in the middle with toys for little guys to play with, including a wooden train that my two year old stuck with my entire time in the store. Helpful staff who signed me up to their email program AND their text alerts(great marketing!) i got a free shopping bag for my trouble :) I got a couple of cheap noonies for my 3kids for about $ 7 total. Not bad. Ill be returning to use my check-in coupon and to do some christmas shopping. Lots of stuff on sale, prices are reasonable for the most part. Im excited to return!

This is the place to go to find great materials to help your child develop intellectually. I like to find workbooks that focus on a certain area. While their selection can be overwhelming, the staff is always so helpful in reviewing their stock with you. Last summer, I bought a workbook for each subject I wanted my son to work on. One of my friends thinks that I should have gone to one of the dollar stores and just picked up what they have there. I am willing to pay more for the right materials. Hands down, best part of this place? Every Saturday from 11 – 3, they have free crafts for the kids. My daughter had to be pulled away last weekend. They had these great markers that were more like paint. They also had markers that were in shapes and smelled great. We ended up buying a painting book with paint that comes on every page.

Huge!!! The Costco of teachers supplies! Too bad Lakeshore in Cali is only a 1⁄3 of the size of the one in Henderson.
