    I take my daughters to Stella Dallas all the time for their clothing, they love going their.

    I’ve known Dr. Kay Daniel since we were in elementary school together. She was born & raised right here in Louisiana. She and her family have a reputation for superior pediatric dental & orthodontic services because they have a passion for what they do. Dr. Kay loves giving kids the confidence to smile…just look at her Facebook page, her patients love their new smiles:)

    I love this list, however, having the voting open leaves this list ineffective. They are all just going to vote for themselves until they win. I won’t be using this list for recommendations this year… Bummer

  4. jim. franks | May 8, 2017 at 5:27 am |

    Is the Norhshore Parents Prefer awards not mobile friendly? I have tried multiple times to vote and view results to no avail.

  5. how long is the voting open for?

  6. Martha battaglia | May 8, 2017 at 4:21 pm |

    A-list Kids Daycare is listed under Tangipahoa
    It is located in Albany which is in Livingston Parish

  7. Julie Badinger | May 8, 2017 at 5:10 pm |

    I work in the dental field and I have had the
    honor and pleasure of working with Drs.
    Kristie Reine and Eddie Ring. I can say
    with the upmost honesty that they are not
    Only the best at their profession but also
    they have the most amazing rapport with
    their patients. The Doctors have a beautiful
    family practice with a relaxing and even fun
    atmosphere!

  8. Jane Wilkinson | May 8, 2017 at 5:59 pm |

    Fairway pediatrics has the most bring physicians and staff I have ever come in contact with.

    How did Louisiana Glow not make the list for best spray tans??? Lousiana Glow is truly the best hands down!

    • I’m glad you’re so passionate! Next time keep an eye out for nomination season so you can nominate them!! It’s the last two weeks of April.

  11. The best Martial Arts school ,our family enjoe everytime , clean and family environment .

  12. How on earth did Ochsner peds come up from 4th place with 200 votes to first place with over 2500 votes in just a few hours??? Something smells fishy

    • I will be sure to check on that in my logs, but they are a pretty big organization–perhaps they sent out an email?

      • I noticed the same with Joe’s shoes. At 4:30 they had 200+ votes and now he has over 2,600+?? There is no possible way they could get that many votes in a matter of hours

      • And now all of a sudden (I’ve been watching) in an hour jumped from 3000 to 9000? Seriously? This thing is rigged.

    • Catherine Mariotta | May 14, 2017 at 10:43 pm |

      Absolutely! It seems like out of no where Ochsner has taken the lead with over 8500 votes…. I do not think this is a legit! Something is very fishy!!! 🙁

  13. Warren Duclos | May 12, 2017 at 10:28 am |

    Great idea; hard to find polls related to serving kids.

  14. Nancy Champagne | May 12, 2017 at 11:51 am |

    When searching for a dermatologist, I would like to caution everyone to please find a board certified dermatologist. All physicians that purport to be dermatologist are in fact not. It is important that your dermatologist has completed a certified dermatology program and is certified by the Board of Dermatology.

    Hi!
    I just moved to Mandeville this year and found Stella Dallas Boutique. Everyone there is super nice and helpful with one on one service.
    I get complements on all the “one of a Kind” looks they carry.
    Thanks to the owner,Jade, for having great vision in fashion.
