About the Top Special Needs After School Programs in the 2025 Boston Parents Paper Family Favorites

Boston Parents’ Family Favorites was born with the idea to give readers in Greater Boston and throughout the Northeast 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 Boston’s Family Favorite is conducted in a two-round process. The first round occurs in the month of March with open write-in nominations for parent’s favorite taking place. As more and more nominations come in, the most written-in becomes automatically selectable and listed making it easier and easier for people to cast their nominations. And write-in nominations continue to be open until the middle of April.

As the nomination period  in the first round comes to a close, shortly after, the second round opens with the top nominee 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 Boston Parents Magazine.

We hope you enjoy! And we hope you make your nominations and follow up with voting in the final round!
