sleepymommy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 We're going to be in Northern Virginia in a couple of weekends and I'd love to to know if there is a store there that carries a lot of homeschool materials/curriculum. There are a few different things I'm interested in but really want to be able to thumb thorough first. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I don't know of any in the Springfield/Lorton/Burke area. There are a couple of teacher stores, but they don't sell anything homeschool-y, except maybe some Carson-Dellosa or Evan Moor (and you can see Evan Moor online, anyway).

sleepymommy Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Darn, I guess I'm going to have to wait until I make my way down to my sister's in NC. Thanks for letting me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 You might look at the website for Loudoun Learning in Leesburg. Her store is incredibly well-stocked and everything is on her website...you might be able to decide if she has enough there to make your trip worth it.

I have an online friend who owns a store in VA I think; I will post to her with the link to this thread. It's called "Educator's Exchange."

Mom0012 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well, depending on how badly you want to go to a homeschool store, you might try Laurelwood Books in Loudoun County http://www.laurelwoodbooks.com/. It is packed with homeschool material that you can look at and buy, but her hours are limited and it is not set up like your typical store. It is actually a huge warehouse type building where she shelves all the books she sells at conventions. I've gone there a number of times to browse, but things are not displayed like they are in a regular retail store. Definitely check out the hours and call ahead if you plan to go here. The warehouse is in back of her house, so she will often come and unlock it if you want to browse during off-hours as long as you call ahead. Also, in Frederick, MD, there is http://www.homeschoolconnection.com/. That might not be too far depending on exactly where you will be in Northern Virginia. I have shopped at Loudoun Learning and like looking around there, but it is a regular teacher store, so they don't really carry homeschool curriculum.

There are a few different things I'm interested in but really want to be able to thumb thorough first. Thanks! I heard from my friend; here is her message: "I am about 2 hours drive from Wash DC. Depends on where she is going, we may not be very close to her. We also have limited hours (during the school year), so if she is planning a visit she should call first. Or email me directly at edexbooks@aol.com. The website is http://www.edexbooks.com/" HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova mama Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 There is one in Sugarland Plaza in Sterling but I forget the name of it. Here is the location of the shopping center: http://virginia.hometownlocator.com/maps/feature-map,ftc,2,fid,1749729,n,sugarland%20plaza%20shopping%20center.cfm. There's also one in Ashburn called Teacher's Apple: http://www.teachersapple.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 There's also one in Ashburn called Teacher's Apple: http://www.teachersapple.net/ I LOVE Teacher's Apple -- I have found the best 'games' there that my kids and DH love to play! It's a tiny little place, but chock full of goodies, and the woman who owns it could not be nicer!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepymommy Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Wow, thanks for all the resources! I'm really looking forward to checking some of these places out. Milonavy, your friend's store is actually only about an hour from me, so next time I'm over in that area I will go over there, thanks!
