Hoyer Tours Arundel Judy Center

BALTIMORE, MD - Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) visited the Arundel Judy Center located at the Arundel Elementary and Middle School in the Cherry Hill neighborhood of Baltimore City. During the visit, Congressman Hoyer received an update from the Maryland Department of Education on the progress of Judy Centers in Baltimore and across the state, met with educators and program coordinators, and toured the facility.

"I was glad to visit the Arundel Judy Center this morning and learn more about the support the facility is providing to hundreds of families in the south Baltimore community," said Congressman Hoyer. "Judy Centers play an incredibly important role throughout Maryland, and I appreciated learning more about the programs offered by the Arundel Judy Center. By providing social service and educational programs in one place, Judy Centers help children and parents succeed. I join in thanking all of the staff and educators throughout the state and particularly those at the Arundel Judy Center for the critical work they do."

Judy Centers – named in tribute to Rep. Hoyer's late wife and longtime early childhood advocate Judith Hoyer – are designed to improve the school readiness for children ages birth through five by providing comprehensive early childhood services to students and their families. The Arundel Judy Center is the largest Judy Center in Baltimore City and provides early childhood education and various support services under one roof to families in South Baltimore.
