“What an AMAZING experience at Lakeshore Learning! As a CDA student studying with Mr. Jermaine, through QS2, I had the opportunity to visit Lakeshore as part of our CDA learning experience, and I can honestly say this was so much more than a trip to a store. It became a real-life classroom!

Mr. Jermaine challenged us to look at materials differently and think about how the things we select can support children’s development, creativity, independence, and learning. Being able to walk through the store, explore materials, and connect what we have been learning in class to actual classroom resources made the experience unforgettable.

And JOY was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely excited to learn. Her kindness, knowledge, patience, and energy added so much to the experience. She didn’t just help us shop. She became part of our learning experience.

This was a monumental moment in my CDA journey because it reminded me that becoming an early childhood educator isn’t just about completing 120 hours or earning a credential. It’s about learning how to intentionally create environments and experiences where children can thrive.

Thank you, Lakeshore Learning, Joy, Mary and Mr. Jermaine for turning an ordinary Saturday into an extraordinary learning experience.”

“This has to be the best store ever. It's very large and they have anything you can imagine. I was looking for something that I imagined and wish that I could find, very specific, and I found it exactly! I could not have manufactured it more perfectly myself. And it was a good price. So I will always go there to find something that I'm looking for”

“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.”

“The store had plenty of quality items and a helpful staff. There weren’t that many people working there, so I wasn’t sure if I’d get any help, but a friendly staff member quickly pointed out another, who answered all of my questions and gave me some extra advice. I would go back.”

“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!”

“My children have taken classes with Dvora for over 8 years. She is a very inspirational artist and an excellent teacher. Dvora is very generous with her time and she intentionally keeps her classes small so that there is a lot of personal attention. There is such a positive happy energy in the studio every time I’m there... it’s no wonder my children love it there! If you have a child or if you want to get in touch with your creativity, reserve some time to spend at Soulshine... it’s very unique, warm and inspiring.”

“I had such a lovely experience at Paper Source. The store is filled with so many sweet, thoughtful, and beautifully curated items, from cards and stationery to little gifts that feel personal and special.

Amanda helped me during my visit, and she was incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming. I was beginning to feel overwhelmed with all of the options. She made the experience feel warm and easy, which I really appreciated.

It is such a charming store to browse, especially when you are looking for something pretty, meaningful, or a little unique. I will definitely be back.”

“In store pickup was ready for me when I arrived and the staff helped me find a few more items for my project while I was there. Nice to see a store with more than 2 staff scheduled to work! hope corporate continues that trend.”
