Judy Center Early Learning Hub at Daly Elementary School - COMING SOON!

Supporting Families · Nurturing Learners · Empowering Community

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 rather 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.

The Daly Elementary School Judy Center Early Learning Hub serves young children and their families living in the Daly Elementary School attendance area. Together, the Montgomery County Public Schools and Judy Center Grant partnership creates a system of comprehensive early childhood services for families. As part of the Montgomery County Public Schools Division of Early Childhood, Title I Programs, and Recovery Programs, we enlist the aid of our many collaborative partners to support school readiness.
