About Early Education in the 2023 Parents Press Reader’s Choice Poll

The Best of Parents Press was born with the idea to give readers in the Bay Area a chance to voice their opinions on their personal ‘Family Favorite’ choices for everything kids and family. The program has evolved over the years, and hopefully, with a lot of input from our readers, we’ve been able to make it better and better.

The voting for easy education is conducted in a two-round process. The first round occurs in the month of March and early April with open write-in nominations for parents’ favorites taking place. 

As the nomination period in the first round comes to a close, shortly after, the second round opens with the top nominees being selectable in this final round of voting during the month of April and May. Write-in nominations are no longer available, and voters are open to select their favorite from among those that are listed.

The final winners are posted in the August issue of Parents Press.

We hope you enjoy! And we hope you come back to vote next year!
