Parents' Choice Award Levels
 |
The Parents' Choice Gold Awards are given to those books, toys, games, videos, software, magazines,
audio recordings, and television programs that are judged as
the highest quality, most appealing products in their genre.
Criteria for judgments include the highest production standards,
universal human values and a unique, individual quality that
pushes the product a notch above others. |
 |
The Parents' Choice Silver Honors are given to excellent products that, like the Gold Award winners,
are designed to entertain and help children develop universally
ethical attitudes, and rigorous standards and skills. Silver
Honors come in a high second with one or more evaluating groups.
Silver Honors are highly prized-like the Gold Awards-for production
and human values. |
 |
The Parents' Choice Recommended Seal indicates that our committees found the product distinguished
enough to give it a notch above our "Approval" rating.
In other words, this commendation implies our approval and,
even beyond that, our thorough recommendation for reasons of
production, appeal and fulfillment of its clear intent. |
 |
The Parents' Choice Approved Seals are given on the basis of the production, entertainment and
human values they exemplify. A Parents' Choice Approved seal
indicates a wholesome product that helps children enjoy developing
physical, emotional, social or academic skills. |
 |
The Parents' Choice Classic Award is given to material that meets the criteria for our Gold Award
and that, for at least five years, has maintained its original
excellence. The Classic Award indicates the product, program
or experience has stood the test of time. |
 |
The Parents' Choice FunStuff Award was created in response to requests for PCF to
identify value priced age-appropriate products such as kits
for making a keepsake for Grandma, party games, or birthday
party gifts that won’t break the bank - nonviolent products
that may not be "educational" but are well produced
and fun. |
