About Lakeshore Learning Store

LakeshoreLearning.com - School supplies for preschools & elementary classrooms. Lakeshore Learning has educational materials, arts & crafts, free activities & more!

Lakeshore is dedicated to creating innovative educational materials that spark young imaginations, instill a sense of wonder and foster a lifelong love of learning. With materials for infants and toddlers through the 6th grade, we help children reach developmental milestones and achieve educational goals—while still having fun!

Explore, discover, play and learn! Our products are specially designed to motivate and encourage little ones to investigate and engage with their world…preparing them for grade-school success!

No one understands what school-age children need more than Lakeshore. That’s because all of our product developers are former educators who apply real-world classroom experience to every product we develop.

Our products for learning at home made an instant connection with parents—and even received national attention on the TODAY® show and in People Magazine.

At our headquarters in Southern California, we have talented individuals who do everything from developing products and filling customer orders to designing our catalogs and managing our digital marketing space. Plus, we have knowledgeable representatives across the country—both in our stores and out in the field. Also, 30% of our full-time employees have had careers at Lakeshore for more than a decade! Check out our Careers page for open positions. We also have an employee preschool, Kids & Company, which is a fully certified Nature Explore® Classroom.

Lakeshore has been developing innovative products since 1988. Our developers take Lakeshore products from ideas to realities—from first sketches and 3-D simulations to rigorous testing and classroom use. To ensure quality and safety, every product we carry undergoes an average of more than one hundred hours of development and testing before it reaches our customers.

The first Lakeshore Learning Store opened in San Leandro, California…and now we have stores from coast to coast—with plans to open more every year. Stop by one of our store locations for free teacher workshops, Free Crafts for Kids and more.

Over the years, Lakeshore has been able to achieve a great deal. But when we join forces with others, the results are truly something. Because of our collaborations with nonprofits and other important players in the field of education, we have been able to affect the lives of millions.
