Mom’s Choice Awards®
Announcing New Honorees – August, 2015
The award-winning products and services you see here were rigorously evaluated not just by parents, but by subject matter experts.
To us, being among the best in family-friendly products and services requires more than just great quality and durability. Products and services that earn our Honoring Excellence seal must:
- be technically sound;
- help families grow emotionally, physically and spiritually;
- promote good will; and
- be inspirational and uplifting
Companies clearly believe in our mission and rely on the rigorous evaluation process we provide and the lifetime marketing that comes with it. The Mom’s Choice Awards is much more than a seal of approval, just as a mom is much more than just a parent. To us, each of these companies and their creators are Honorees and Distinguished Alumni, not just an award winners.
