What is The Judy Center Early Learning Hub?
Judy Centers promote school readiness for children ages birth through Kindergarten. Utilizing a multigenerational approach for families and children, and providing professional development for early childhood educators, Judy Centers help to support all of the adults in a child’s early years. Located at Title I schools in every Maryland county, Judy Centers play an important role in the communities they serve.
Playgroups
The Judy Center Early Learning Hub at GES will offer AM and PM playgroup sessions. Our playgroups focus on Language, Cognitive, Physical, and Social-Emotional Development. Here at the Judy Center Early Learning Hub at Grasonville, our main goal is to help prepare children age birth through kindergarten for school readiness.
Parent & Family Engagement Activities
Judy Centers help families to learn new ways to engage with their children. Years of research support the importance of positive early experiences as a foundation for future academic success. Judy Centers are critical in offering these experiences directly to children and instructing families to conduct similar experiences independently.
Field Trips
Our "Littles" are visual learners, and a field trip lets them feel, touch, and listen to what they're learning about. Which helps them build on classroom instruction, gain a better understanding of topics, and expose them to worlds outside their own.
