To be considered for an award, each entrant submits (5) identical samples for testing.  Entries are matched to evaluators in the MCA database.  Evaluators are bound by a strict code of ethics not only to ensure objectivity, but also to ensure that the evaluation is free from manufacturer influence.  The five evaluations are submitted to the MCA Executive Committee for final review and approval.

“Our aim is to introduce families and educators to best-in-class products and services,” explains Dawn Matheson, Executive Director of the Mom’s Choice Awards.  “We have a passion to help families grow emotionally, physically and spiritually.  Parents and educators know that products and services bearing our seal of approval are high-quality and also a great value.
