The Evaluation Process

The MCA judges are bound by a strict code of ethics which ensures expert and objective analysis free from any manufacturer association.

The 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. Judges are especially interested in products that help families grow emotionally, physically and spiritually; are morally sound and promote good will; are inspirational and uplifting.

Each product is judged on its own merit. One category could have multiple recipients or no recipients at all.

Parents, educators, retailers and the media trust the Mom's Choice Awards® for product reviews and evaluations. Products and services bearing the MCA seal help parents, caregivers, educators and retailers select quality materials and products for children and families.
