Judy Centers, named for late wife of Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer, provide early childhood education and family support services at Title I schools across Maryland. We speak to Crystal Francis, coordinator for Baltimore City’s Judy Centers, about how the centers connect families to community resources, such as GED prep and utility assistance. And parent Keisha Thornton talks about the educational value of Judy Centers.
Plus, does early education have a lasting impact? Faith Connolly and Jeffrey Grigg of the Baltimore Education Research Consortium tell us about their findings.
