“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.”

“I love shopping here and the employees here are very friendly and always helpful . People who have made complaints about how they are treated poorly maybe they should have stopped and think hey maybe I deserved the poor treatment from the employee/s and don’t be a stickler and always expect to be greeted the minute you walk in.You are not a KING or anything ?. So be mindful of your actions first before pointing fingers at others.”
“I had a wonderful experience at this toy store! The selection of toys was amazing, with plenty of options for kids of all ages. The store was clean, well-organized, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I loved the variety of fun and creative products available. It’s a great place to find gifts and make children happy. I will definitely visit again!”
“Thank you for making my mom's Mother's day special. She has Alzheimer's so isn't able to enjoy much at this stage.....but to see her smile while enjoying a Clark bar that she used to loved made everyone tear up. Thank you for giving her a good day.”
