2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Music School

Bach to Rock Warminster

Warminster

“We’ve had a fantastic experience with Bach to Rock! My son has been taking drum lessons here for close to a year, and the kid-centered atmosphere keeps him engaged and excited to learn each week. Matt and Alvin are incredibly talented and bring such a genuine passion for music and music education. Their encouragement and energy have truly helped my son grow as a young musician. Highly recommend!”

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Art Classes

Blue Sky Art Studio

Bensalem

“If a child has an interest in going to a place for 8 years, it means a lot! Yes! My daughter has attended Blue Sky Art Studio since she was 6, and now she’s 14! She never wants to leave, always looks forward to going, always is happy there! We love Blue Sky Art Studio and its founder, a great art teacher and wonderful person, Ann Sobieski. Ms. Terri and Ms. Maddison are the best art/craft teachers working there as well. They all are so good with the kids of any ages! The adults can also take the lessons there or can have a painting party. Blue Sky also provides summer camps where the kids of different ages can always find something interesting to do, to create, to make new friends. It’s a great place to throw birthday parties! A place like Blue Sky Art Studio is very valuable nowadays when the kids are into their devices. At Blue Sky they can use their imagination and creativity and stay away from the electronics at least for some time. Blue Sky provides all the supplies and the lessons/parties/camp prices are affordable.”

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Nature Educators

Bristol Township Environmental Advisory Committee

Bristol

“In addition to their regular duties, the Bristol Township EAC has spent the last year focusing on making environmental education more accessible to young people, not only in the Township, but as far as their social media presence can take them. In September, they created the Bristol Township Student Environmental Excellence Award to recognize high school and college students from Bristol Township who show an exemplary commitment to environmental conservation and stewardship. In November, they began the Species Spotlight series of educational posters, aimed at helping younger students learn about animals native to our area. These posters are available on the EAC’s social media platform, as well as in local Internet media outlets and some physical locations. This dedication to fostering a love for nature through expanding education is vital to future generations taking up the mantle of environmental stewardship.”

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Dance Studio

Bucks County Arts and Dance

Dublin

“My daughter has been dancing with Bucks County Arts and Dance for nine years now. Dana, the studio owner, and her team are fabulous. They are always positive, kind, and helpful to all the dancers. They offer many types of dance for all ages, including adults. My daughter truly enjoys her classes at BCAD, so much so that every year we end up adding another class to her already busy schedule! My daughter has made many friends throughout the years with the other dancers in her classes, but even better is that I have also made many great friends with the dancers’ parents. As an adult, it’s harder to make friends, so when you find your people (and you still like each other after spending multiple nights a week together) it’s a big deal! Bucks County Arts and Dance has also helped my daughter with a safe space to grow. There are various opportunities for the kids to perform what they are learning throughout the season and that has really helped my daughter’s confidence to blossom.”

– Bucks County Community Parent

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Financial Literacy Program

CHAMPS NATION

Richboro

“The CHAMPS NATION program is so helpful for me. Zarina is so kind, makes learning very fun, we learn a lot, and we also sometimes make jokes. This will help me become really good at selling and making money later in life. We do fun events like the Business Fair (my favorite), and she also lets us work on speaking in public. Also, we don’t just learn about money, we learn a lot more than that. Every moment of her class I really enjoy. My favorite day of the week is Wednesday just because of her class. Thank you Zarina for being an amazing teacher and helping me learn something new every class!”

– Elizabeth K.

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Swim Classes

Goldfish Swim School – Langhorne

Langhorne

“Goldfish Swim School in Langhorne really goes above and beyond. From the incredibly knowledgeable front desk team to their kind and bright instructors, they really give you a golden experience. It’s been wonderful coming here and seeing the difference they make in kids’ lives. I see kids light up at the sight of their teachers, their connections are so amazing. I’ve watched my kiddo come completely out of his shell and become so confident around the water. His coach listened to his voice and supported him through ups and downs each week. I cannot recommend this place enough. Halle and Christina, the managers there, are so supportive and really make every lesson magical.”

– Bucks County Parent Community Parent

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Performing Arts Programs

Lights, Camera, Acting

New Britain

“LCA is a place that makes kids feel safe and helps is so many ways beyond just theater. My kids have been here since 4 and they show such confidence on and off the stage.”

– Bucks County Community Parent

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Music Classes for Little Ones

Mini Music Makers

Newtown

“Colby is the founder of Mini Music Makers — a young mom who pours her heart and soul into every class. She plans locations, themes, and details with love, from a charming family farm with donkeys and goats to a physical development center with moon bounces and relay races. She has known my kids for nearly a year and already knows my son’s favorite color, making sure he gets his blue scarf and shaky egg every class. She lets my daughter lead in front of the group because she loves the spotlight — and has gently coaxed my shy two-year-old out of his shell, never pushy, always ready to cheer him on. Her impact is long-lasting. My son loves to play superheroes — but he also loves to sit down, strum his little guitar, hand out instruments, and play “Miss Colby.” We love her so much. We will cheer for her in everything she does”

– Samara B.

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Yoga for Kids

The Yoga Gnome

Doylestown

“I’ve attended prenatal, postnatal, baby and toddler yoga classes at The Yoga Gnome along with hosting my daughter’s third birthday party here. They are an outstanding part of the community in terms of the positivity they bring to kids and families. I am a better mother because of them.”

– Bucks County Parent Community Parent

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Martial Arts Classes

World Elite Martial Arts

Newtown

“When my pint-sized daughter said she wanted to try karate, I thought she might be joking. But she seriously proved me wrong, thus beginning an incredible journey discovering her talent and passion for martial arts. We soon met Master Trotta and here we are now four and a half years, thousands of training hours, experiences and trophies later as she approaches the milestone black belt level. We love World Elite Martial Arts because this family-run school is fully committed not just to Julia’s next milestone, but to developing each student into an elite version of him or herself. They are ensuring that along the journey all students feel positive and confident no matter the challenges.”

– Risa S.

2026 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Cooking Classes

Young Chef’s Academy of Yardley

Serving Bucks County

“My 10 year old daughter attends Young Chef’s Academy of Yardley, and she looks forward to it every week! It’s been such a wonderful experience for her. The academy has taught her so many valuable kitchen skills, and now she’s eager to try new foods. She loves making her recipes and sharing them with friends and family. The academy is always clean, fresh, and modern, with a welcoming atmosphere. The chef instructors are amazing, and we even get to watch her in action and taste the delicious dishes she creates. It’s been great to see her try foods she would’ve never eaten before. Highly recommend!”

– Rachel C.

2026 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Martial Arts Classes

Action Karate Doylestown

Doylestown

“This organization goes above and beyond for their community and families. They do outreach to scouts and troops, school programs, and self-defense clinics and donations. They have helped our family through some rough times and truly helped our child progress and excel in so many ways, so much so, our whole family now trains. The positive impact they’ve had on my family is beyond belief. Thank you so much Action Karate Doylestown for creating such a welcoming, inspiring, and supportive community among students and parents that feels just like family. The instructors and staff are top-notch, highly professional and genuinely caring & this location provides a crucial in-person, interactive experience that combats screen time.”

2026 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Dance Studio

Adrienne’s Academy of Dance

Perkasie

“Adrienne’s Academy of Dance is more than a dance studio, it’s a nurturing, artistic home where every dancer is valued and encouraged to grow both technically and personally. Formerly Shannon Carney Dance Academy, this studio has been serving Bucks and Montgomery County families for over 20 years, offering a wide range of classes in a fun, caring environment where proper technique and personal development go hand in hand. Adrienne, the owner and director, and her dedicated team consistently go above and beyond. They offer a variety of classes from creative movement for the youngest dancers to ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern, musical theatre, and even classes for adults. In the past year, they’ve seamlessly worked together as the studio took on a new name, branding and approach to the typical dance studio. The studio provides opportunities like the Performance Group where dancers train extra hard, perform in community events, and compete with accolades for choreography and passion that inspire younger students to dream bigger. The studio is involved in community events and continues to grow.”

2026 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Art Classes

Art In The Pod

Churchville

“My experience with this art studio has been truly special. I have been doing the Mommy & Me classes with my daughter who is 3.5 yrs old. Nina, the teacher and owner of the studio, creates a warm, welcoming environment where children and parents can learn together through hands-on art-making. The instruction is thoughtful and age-appropriate, blending real art skills with creativity and exploration, and the atmosphere encourages connection—not just between parent and child, but within the whole community. My daughter feels confident, engaged, and proud of her work, and I value the opportunity to slow down and create alongside her. This studio deserves recognition for fostering meaningful learning experiences, nurturing creativity at a young age, and building a space where families can grow together through art.”

2026 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Dance Studio

BC Discoveries Dance & Theater Arts Co.

Newtown

“BC Discoveries owner Kristina Tuxhorn, staff (including Kristen Brown, Gwynne Frischmann & more) & the interns always go out of their way to make sure kids are having a good experience. The studio is more like a family, looking out for one another at all the different events they attend or perform at from TOPC Team events & trips to Nutcracker, Holidazzle & the Spring recital, there’s never a dull moment. Our daughter has been dancing with them for nearly 10 years, she’s a little bit quirky & sometimes has trouble fitting in or making friends. At BC Discoveries, she’s found her people, they embrace her with open arms & to a 12 year old you can imagine that’s pretty important. They have kids with all kinds of interests and with their common love of dance it makes it easier to connect with each other. Also, the owner Kristina Tuxhorn doesn’t allow bullying or discrimination of any kind, she works with kids to get the best version of themselves. It’s really comforting knowing that it’s a safe, fun, friendly environment. They really strive to give back, performing for Woods Services & various nursing home residents as well as performing in local parades & doing philanthropic drives throughout the year. This really is a studio that does everything in it’s power to give back.”

Swim Classes

British Swim School of Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey

Bensalem and Richboro

“We love the British Swim School! My son has learned so much over the course of his lessons and continues to make progress every class! The coaches are caring, supportive, and encouraging. They take interest in building the relationship and focus on highlighting my son’s strengths while giving him tips on how to work out kinks so he can keep progressing.”

I highly recommend Kara; she is a great teacher and very friendly. My son is always looking forward to his next lesson; it is the highlight of his week. Thank you so much, Kara, for the great work you do!”

Swim Classes

Splash and Dash Swim Lessons
