Our judges are important contributors in our overall mission of helping families and educators navigate the vast array of products and services and make informed decisions.
 
Evaluation Process
We are committed to providing reliable unbiased evaluation free from any manufacturer/publisher association. Parents, educators, librarians and retailers rely on our evaluations when selecting quality materials and products for children and families. The MCA evaluation process uses a propriety methodology in which entries are scored on a number of elements including production quality, design, educational value, entertainment value, originality, appeal and cost.
