Akron / Ohio / United States
Get inspired with teaching supplies, classroom décor and educational toys! At Educators at Heart, (formerly Creative Curriculum) Northeast Ohio’s premier teacher store, owners Tom and Jodi Orihel have everything you need to help students flourish in the classroom or at home. Whether you’re a teacher looking for classroom supplies; a homeschooler searching for the best educational supplies; a parent or grandparent helping a child catch up, brush up or get ahead in a subject; or simply someone looking to give a child an educational toy to enrich their lives—we have it all. Since 1986, as one of the largest in the Cleveland-Akron area, Educators at Heart has sought to make learning more creative, fun and effective. Our store offers more selection and better pricing than the large, online giants – plus you can see, feel and coordinate products before you buy. For those that prefer shopping online, we also have an online store with real-time inventory. As teachers ourselves, we consider our experience in the classroom to be a differentiator in the shopping experience here. Teachers and parents benefit from our practical, hands-on relationship with the products we offer, seeing what works best from an educational perspective. Helping people open up the world to kids from infancy through eighth grade helps us serve a vital purpose within the community. In addition to our classroom and teacher supplies, we have a large selection of craft supplies, the latest toys and special STEM activities. Educational toys and games have been shown to improve brain function in growing minds, as well as inspire kids to develop necessary skills and become emotionally connected to discovering new subject matter. Child-led play also fosters creativity, imagination and problem-solving - the integral skills that can impact a child’s future. Some of our most popular items come from true innovators within the industry, such as Melissa & Doug, MindWare and Learning Resources. We are Educators At Heart, and we love being part of the process.
