This place is absolutely amazing. They have a bit of everything necessary for educators and parents. I have been shopping here for 15 years, as I used to own a daycare, and now am in the education field. I have always been able to find what I need, and I enjoy perusing the store. It’s a great place to find materials for really everything. They have the same curriculum Broward county uses, so you can even pick up a text book for your child to have at home if you don’t like logging into Think Central to access it. They get 5 stars for having everything under the sun. However, I have never gotten friendly service, and feel as if I am bothering them most times I do have a question. Also the pricing is absolutely ludicrous. I have heard rumors that the stores are owned by a principal of a school. Well, it’s totally understandable that you want to make money! You really don’t have ANY competition, absolutely no where can compete with your inventory. So, why not extend some kind of loyalty program to teachers? I make peanuts and find myself checking on Amazon before going to your store, because I know the pricing will be so high. I enjoy the sidewalk sale and typically spend about a few hundred there as the pricing is more affordable. Last year we received the reminder flyer after the sale though! Hope we get it in advance this year~

This place has everything you could need. I am a high school teacher so it’d better for elementary but still love it. The people here are sometimes not that polite though.

There is a lady who works here, I didn’t get her name but she is middle aged and has blonde hair. She was so very helpful to me and my son finding supplies for his science project. It’s rare to receive such great customer service these days. This place has everything as far as school supplies goes. Some of the prices are a little high but it’s worth not having to make a special trip to Wally World just to save a couple of bucks. We will definitely be back!

Cornering the market on educational supplies for teachers, this place is absolutely busting out the seams during the month of August. If you are not a teacher and are not looking for inspirational, educational, or subject area posters or related materials, you might want to wait until this time period is over to come into this store during peak hours. During this time there are as many as 7 cash registers open, and lines still go through the entire store. There have been years when the line moved quickly, but that is not the usual so don’t come without at least a good hour window. All the shoppers are pretty friendly, which is necessary because with a cart full of stuff, and not a lot of space to move around, you are constantly bumping into people while you are searching for the perfect item. There is a lot of «excuse me,» «pardon me,» «oops I’m so sorry,» «can you please grab me that,» going on throughout the store. There is something for all levels from preschool to HS, but definitely much more of the store is dedicated to the younger students. There is an entire section of the store dedicated to toys for preschool classrooms. There is an array of toy chests and prizes. They have many different shades of butcher paper for the back of your cork board with a large selection of boarders to create a board that reflects your classroom’s personality. There is a section for Spanish posters and another for religious ones if you are teaching in a parochial school. If your school doesn’t have a laminating machine they provide laminating services, but this is not cheap. However, it is also not cheap to purchase new posters every year, or replace them all the time because they get ripped, so your best bet is to get them laminated. In addition to core subject related materials, there are also a lot of art supplies for students from novice to expert. They have craft paper, and also colored paints in assorted mediums for art classes or personal use.

This educational supply store has been around for years and you can find a wide variety of teacher materials here including supplies and posters for K-12 classrooms. There are also reading prep books for children as well.
