Great specialty store for educational supplies. The staff really go out of their way to help you find what you need, so just ask them if you need anything specific. One of the staff Adrian was also a Kindergarten Teacher and mom, she helped me find the right activity set.

As a parent, I appreciate the emphasis on educational toys at this store. I can find toys that are not only fun but also promote learning and development. Highly recommended!

If you love being followed around the store and dont have blonde hair and blue eyes, then this is the location for you! Despite being a repeat customer and spending over $100 every time I shop here, I am greeted with the same polite hostility and Im over it frankly. I watched as several other people who did not look like me today were able to browse and shop in peace. Meanwhile I had store representatives hiding next to stock across each aisle and fervently questioning me as if to constantly keep an eye on me. I have noticed this across employees throughout the years so Im inclined to believe it is company culture. Someone really needs to inform these ladies that in their location, majority of teachers are minorities and that we can shop there without stealing. I do not see the point in isolating a lot of your customer base by treating them as criminals the second that they walk through the door. I drove 45 minutes just to leave with nothing. Contrary to the smug look on the clerks face, it was not because I couldnt afford the items, it was because I was having a hard time suppressing my frustration and decided to leave. In the past Ive made purchases despite this treatment to avoid the shame that is paired with the assumption that you are going to steal, however as of today, I refuse. You dont want to treat a black customer like you would treat anyone else walking into your store, then you dont want my black dollars. For anyone who has made it this far in this review every single item that they sell in this store can be found online, sometimes at better quality, stronger varieties, at more reasonable price points. Carson Delarosa is a fantastic alternative brand. If you buy items on teacher pay teacher, then youre helping another teacher. If they want to treat paying customers like they are not wanted, then we need to start paying someone else. I will not be returning.
