“Ordered balloons to be picked up later in the day. Was super helpful. Usually have what I'm looking for. Not sure if anything costs a dollar any more, but they offer many options. Love getting balloons and decorations here.”
“I was over by Blick and had to stop in because you can always find something useful. This time was no exception (one can always use a few more different colored pencils, right?). The store is always well stocked with great quality items, it's clean and the staff is always helpful. Thank you again”
“The customer service is Amazing. when I come im always greeted with a smile and great conversation . I will also support this black owned business . Every item that I purchased from Letty B creations has been phenomenal.”
“A friend recommended Overflow Vinyl for a print job of tshirts for female veterans who were going to participate in an out-of-state retreat which needed a quick turnaround & great quality. Overflow Vinyl did not disappoint in any form or fashion. The professionalism, courtesy and attention to details was beyond my expectations. I received a quote for my order within an hour, and my shirts were ready the following day. This business is highly recommended! Thank you to the Overflow Vinyl team for the outcome of excellent products!”
“Every time, and I mean every single time, I wrap a gift in Paper Source paper, people comment on how beautiful the paper is. They also have very different? original? unique? cards.
And the staff is always so friendly. (Well, at least at the one I go to).”
“Certain of the items seemed understocked, but that could be due to the Christmas holiday. Overall, it was a nice shopping experience. I went late Christmas eve so no crowds. And, I was able to get what I was looking for.”
“On behalf of The Collective, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible team at Lakeshore Learning in New Hyde Park. Over the past several years, this location has consistently delivered an experience that goes far beyond customer service. It feels like genuine partnership, community, and care for the field of education.
Every single time I walk through those doors, Mary has been an absolute powerhouse of support to both myself and my team. Her professionalism, patience, product knowledge, and warm spirit are unmatched. She never simply “sells products.” She helps us think intentionally about how materials can elevate the experiences of children, classrooms, and educators alike.
The same can be said for so many others there including Narisa, Kayla, Michelle, Joy, and countless additional team members who continuously make us feel valued and welcomed. They remember our team. They ask about our families. They take the time to truly understand what we are trying to create for children and provide thoughtful insight that helps us make meaningful decisions.
As leaders in early childhood education, we know how important it is to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and inspired, and this Lakeshore team models that beautifully every single visit.
Thank you all for your consistency, kindness, and dedication to educators everywhere. Your work matters more than you know, and the impact reaches far beyond the walls of your store.”
