The MCPS Judy Center Early Learning Hubs are grant-funded partnership programs that serve young children and their families. They are designed to help ensure that all children are ready for school success.

“The Judy Center will play a critical role in closing the opportunity gap for our children to ensure success in school and in life,” said Jennifer Falcón, program manager of Weller Road’s Judy Center. “Our Judy Center staff is working closely with families and members of the Weller Road community to develop relationships. We are excited to continue our collaboration with our families and our community partners in order to provide access to parent educational opportunities, support with navigating community resources and professional development opportunities for our child care partners.”
