The Judy Center Early Learning Hub is a collaboration of many public and non-profit agencies in St. Mary’s County Maryland dedicated to providing comprehensive, community-based early learning services for children birth through kindergarten and their families in the Green Holly, George Washington Carver, and Lexington Park Elementary School zones. We believe that all children should enter school ready to learn and that families are the foundation for their children's school success. The Judy Center provides many learning opportunities and fun, free family activities to promote school readiness.

Collaboration and partnerships with the community lie at the heart of Maryland’s Judy Center Early Learning Hubs. Judy Centers are not childcare centers but a comprehensive hub where families can participate in family learning experiences and receive services and support. In Title I and high-needs elementary schools in every Maryland jurisdiction, Judy Centers empower a child’s first teachers- their families- by supporting child development and early learning skills for our youngest learners from birth through kindergarten.
