Your guide to the BEST local resources for families: trusted and recommended by the Main Line Parent Community.

We created Main Line Parent in 2010 with a mission of Building Community (we love connecting with 36,000+ local parents in our Community Facebook Group every day). Flip through this Best for Families Guide to discover who the families in our Main Line Parent Community LOVE SO MUCH (and why)!
Every year, from our Community Builders’ Luncheon in December to Valentine’s Day February 14th, we ask our readers to share their experiences and recommendations with us via LOVE Award nominations. This Main Line Parent Best for Families Guide features the local businesses and nonprofit organizations who stood out as Community Builders worth celebrating. They have gone above and beyond expectations to deliver outstanding products and services, and we are proud to recognize them as our LOVE Award Winners and Family Favorites.

The Family Focus Media team was proud to present a $500 donation to Fostering Hope on behalf of our Members and Communities at the 2024 LOVE Luncheon as our Community Builder of the Year. Fostering Hope provides invaluable support to youth in foster care and the families caring for them.
Through comprehensive resources, advocacy, and compassionate care, they reduce barriers and ease transitions for vulnerable children in our area. Some of the resources they provide include new duffle bags and for children to use when packing to move from one home to another, bags of necessities called “Bags of Hope” and foster families are invited to “shop” in the “Foster- -Share Closet” for gear such as clothing, books, toys and other essential gear. Children in foster care deserve a world where they can thrive and feel valued. It is an honor to recognize this exceptional organization serving the foster care community.
