Main Line Parent was founded in 2010 with the mission of building community to connect parents raising kids around the Main Line with resources, events, and each other.

The Main Line Parent LOVE Awards offer our readers an opportunity to honor the businesses who truly went above and beyond for them each year. We’re so proud to recognize the outstanding businesses that members of our community can TRUST as LOVE Award Winners and Family Favorites.

The following Main Line Parent Community Awards are dedicated to recognizing our neighbors who have championed this mission alongside our team.

Karin Fox, Main Line Parent Community Member of the Year

Every day, Karin Fox helps so many people in our community, out of the goodness of her heart, as an advocate and a fighter for students in our schools. The assistance she offers to families navigating some of life’s most difficult educational situations is incomparable. Karin is frequently called on and tagged in our Main Line Parent Community group on Facebook to provide advice and support, and she also runs one of the only local Facebook groups dedicated to serving families whose children have special needs. You can get to know Karin and our group of 27,000+ families at facebook.com/groups/mainlineparent or join her group at facebook.com/groups/MainLineSpecialNeedsParents.

Dan and Stephanie Namerow, Farryn Electric, Main Line Parent Business Member of the Year

In early 2017, we redesigned our Main Line Parent Business Membership Program and Farryn Electric was the very first business to join our new business community. Since then, our team has gotten to know Dan and Stephanie and we quickly learned why their business is so successful. Farryn Electric is known for their quality work, exceptional customer service, respect for the homes they work in, and placing the safety of their customers above all else. They also regularly give back to the community in anyway that they can. These reasons and more are why they are one of this year’s Main Line Parent Business Members of the Year!

Ilene Steinberg, Center for Lice Control, Main Line Parent Business Member of the Year

Commonly known as, “the business you sometimes need but don’t ever want,” the Center for Lice Control has saved the day for many of our team members and our children. Our community takes comfort knowing Ilene is there when that dreaded “your child has lice” phone call comes from the school nurse. In addition to being your savior when it comes to lice treatment, the Center for Lice Control also offers salon services and take-home prevention products. The Main Line is lucky to have her as a member of our community!
