The Power of the Judy Center Hubs

Caroline County Judy Centers support children, parents, and extended family

Posted

The Federalsburg and Greensboro Judy Center Early Learning Hubs are designed to provide services to parents and children prenatal through five years of age. We also serve as a bridge between families and community partners and resources.

We work closely with other Caroline County Public Schools staff such as our school administrators, Community Schools Coordinators, teachers, the Early Childhood department to ensure our PreK and Kindergarten families are given the opportunity to build connections with the schools and strengthen their child’s development and learning. We provide the support the family needs as their child’s first and most important teachers.

In addition, we partner with local organizations and agencies that work with children and families across the mid-shore, and with private PreK providers and licensed childcare providers in the county, including:
●Maryland Rural Development Corporation Head Start (Federalsburg, Greensboro)
●Maryland Rural Development Corporation Early Head Start (Denton)
●Heather Fisher, Private PreK provider
●Angel Cintron, Private PreK provider
●Amanda Brown, Family Child Care Provider

We are particularly proud of our frequent community outreach events where we bring our families and partners together for activities, workshops, and other experiences. These professional development opportunities enable partners to earn continuing education credits, necessary to maintain their license and credentials to operate each year. Materials of instruction related to each topic are provided. These events also allow partners to immediately present the lesson or implement the strategies learned in the training.

The Judy Center steering committee meetings are held bi-monthly in conjunction with the Caroline Early Learning Advisory Council (CELAC), which allows for communication to take place at a county level between partners.
