The Program

What Makes Us Different

The Creative Child Magazine Awards Program stands out for its unique approach to product evaluation. Rather than having a single reviewer assess submitted products, the program enlists a diverse group of parents and educators to provide feedback — ensuring each product is reviewed from multiple perspectives.

Monthly review events are held in Henderson, NV where over 60 reviewers are invited to a local conference center. All products are divided into categories and displayed at various stations. Guest reviewers rotate through and evaluate every product at every station using category-specific online score forms.

Upon completion, all scores are tabulated and comments are reviewed. Top-scoring products are awarded prestigious recognition including our top awards and our celebrated Seal of Excellence and Preferred Choice designations.
