Please tell everyone you know who may fall in that category. They can call for more information 410.438.3182 or stop in ... sweet little building in downtown Sudlersville behind Phillips Garage/CITGO.

Parent and child come together to the nurturing and supportive Center to participate in a multitude of adult activities, child activities, parent and child activities and family outings. We strive to contribute to a community that supports family life, working together for children entering school ready to learn ... all towards profitable communities.

Sorry, older children cannot come to the Center ... but our munificent partner, QAC Parks and Recreation, just created a full day camp at Sudlersville Middle School for children age-eligible to enter PreK this fall and for children eligible to enter Kindergarten, no matter where they live ... info attached. Older children can attend the camp in Church Hill. (parents can choose either the Sudlersville or Church Hill camp for children who will be entering Kindergarten)

Family Support of Queen Anne's County is a Judy Center Partner, sponsored by the Board of Education and funded by Maryland Family Network.
