Classes and Summer Camps are essential for Philly kids, as they provide fun, structured activities that enables them to explore new interests, build life skills, nurture creativity and personal growth outside of school. Engaging summer programming also empowers kids to be active and social for physical, cognitive, emotional and social development.

We accept nominations across all categories to help local parents like us navigate the countless choices we all have to make every day (see who’s on our 2024 Nominees List so far), but we’re making a special request for you to share the unsung heroes who enrich your child’s afternoons, evenings, weekends, and summers. We want to know who has gone above and beyond to nurture their skills, character development, and resiliency!

What Are The Philadelphia Family LOVE Awards & Family Favorites?

The annual Philadelphia Family LOVE Awards and Family Favorites recognize the BEST local resources for families, based on recent outstanding experiences and trusted recommendations from parents. Our Philly Family Community Facebook group has a reputation for helping parents find friends and trusted referrals and our LOVE Awards and Family Favorites elevates stories of great experiences. Winners and Favorites will be selected using a QUALITY OVER QUANTITY approach, meaning that each nomination is evaluated by a human looking for specific reasons why the recommended business or nonprofit should be recognized.

Nominations are open until Valentine’s Day. The Philadelphia Family team will recognize and connect LOVE Award Winners and Family Favorite Honorees in our annual Best for Families Guide and with special events including the Best for Families Celebration at the Radnor Valley County Club on May 23, 2024 as well as the LOVE Luncheon on June 5th at River House at Odette’s in New Hope.
