Sales attendant are so helpful and cheerful. So many different educational toys on display for kids to play with. Monthly events usually occur on weekends-today's was Pete the Cat which consisted of book readings and arts and crafts. One star deducted for the small parking lot. It is also an outlet store with a lot of their mark downs below that include furniture.

Great place to shop for school supplies and laminating items for the classroom. I only had 1 linear foot of laminated posters and after waiting in line was blessed to not be charged. As a school teacher you know how much of our own money we spend. This was great! Thank you Lake Shore'n

This is a great place to shop for classroom supplies. It’s a little bit pricey but the quality is way better than other places. You can also always find good deals. Sign up for the text message, you will get promo code every couple of weeks. What makes me love this place most is their staff. They are always super nice and very helpful!

So many options to chose from! Rather you're a teacher, daycare provider or a parent like me there will be something educational for your children. Staff is helpful! I visited for the first time and wanted to take my time to shop around and the ladies had no problem assisting me with whatever I needed. I took my time and they were super patient. I will be a returning customer!!

Looking for a number of Christmas gifts for my grandchildren and decided to go to the actual store in San Leandro, CA. It's a very large store but organized into age group areas and interests, areas for teachers, classrooms and students, plus a large area of children's furniture. The staff was very helpful and efficient! They made shopping there a great experience. Exchanges or returns will all be honored without a gift receipt. The only blip in the experience was the parking. The lot is small and the store is in an industrial area. It was crowded when I got there so it took a bit to find some street parking. All was forgotten when I got inside and found everything I needed and more. It was a very nice store, good quality items, and an extremely competent, helpful and friendly staff!

Marisol IS THE BEST!!! From the second I walked through the door until the moment I left the store- She made me feel as if I was her only customer!!! I came in for two things a rug and posters; and she helped me find the perfect rug and select the very best posters for my Preschool. Marisol mentioned they had gotten a new shipment of chairs and I should take a glance at it and I ended up buying two sensational chairs. I was so thrilled to find everything I needed I almost had tears as I left the store. Marisol gives world class customer service AND is a gentle yet phenomenal sales person. Marisol thank you for being an awesome human!!! You are appreciated.

What a great place! The parking and store front is deceiving... This store is GIGANTIC, with a huge warehouse/outlet center in back. You can score done pretty great deals here on all sorts of early learning resources and toys for young school-age children, or classroom supplies.

I've been shopping with them for a few years now. They have good quality toys, and a great variety. Why I decided to finally write a review is to praise them for terrific customer service. I bought an archery set a month ago, and a piece broke off (again, they have great quality products so I'm not thinking its poor manufacturing, but maybe just a fluke thing with my four year old) I didn't have a receipt but I had a charge on my bank statement to show, however without a question or "ummm", they straight up told me to come in and grab a new package. Wow. That is the old fashioned customer service we used to have in stores. I always buy the kids toys from them, and now with this experience, I am wholly a loyal customer of theirs, and will tell all the other mothers I know about this wonderful store, and company. Thank you, and merry Christmas!

I had to do some laminating today at Lakeshore, and I had great service. A clerk offered to do it for me, and the price was very reasonable. I have always had great experiences with customer service. Great store for education related material.

It was my first time visiting the store and the store and location itself was very spacious and clean - had lots of resources for teachers as well as the amazing clearance section near the back warehouse area. HOWEVER, the customer service at this location was unbelievable. I was standing in line with my toy poodle (10lbs) and my mother who was holding my dog's leash very close to both of us. As we were waiting in line, 4-5 kids along with one adult came over and started to pet my dog without asking for permission. Thankfully, my dog is very well trained and calm so he just sat there and my mom who does not speak English was startled and looked at me for help. I grabbed my dog and held him and told the kids but mostly directed at the adult who was standing there doing nothing "You should ask before you touch the dog, I don't want it to be surprised and bite you". The adult + kids walked away with no reply to what I had said and it was my turn at the cash register. I walked up, feeling a little annoyed at what happened and the women at the register says "Next time, if you don't want kids touching your dog you should put up a sign that says "don't touch" or hold him". At this point, I am outraged so I ask "So first of all, are you saying that dogs are not allowed to walk in the store?" She replies, "No they are allowed but this is a kid's store so if you yell at the kids, they might complain". First of all, I did not "yell" at the kids, if I have yelled at the kids, I do not think the adult who was with them would have just walked away. Now furious at what this women is saying I said "So, just because they are kids they can touch other people's belongings and that's okay?". I'm sure at this point, this women doesn't have anything else to say because the comments that she have made are outrageous and illogical. She shrugs and says "okay". No sorry, nothing. My dog was leashed and was walking right beside me throughout the entire store. We did not deserve this kind of treatment from this women. I am a kindergarten teacher so I know how capable the kids are to learn how to behave in a public space as well as how to talk to them. If you want to take your dog to this store, watch out for this women as she thinks the kids can do whatever they want because they are kids and dogs are just toys for them to play with!

Wonderful store to buy toys and educational tools to develop your child. The toys and games are very fun for our kids. And our kids don't even realize they are learning! The staff is helpful and courteous. A must visit for those of you which young kids.
