Abstract	As the early education coordinator for Prince George's County Public Schools, Judith P. Hoyer lamented the gaps in available services for low-income families. In the 1990s, she created a central location in Adelphi, Maryland, for important early childhood services, thus fostering cooperation of governmental and private agencies around the needs of local families. After her untimely death in 1997, her husband, Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-MD), in partnership with then Governor Parris N. Glendening, led a successful movement to bring her model of collaboration to other areas of Maryland. As a result, the Maryland State Legislature enacted the Judith P. Hoyer Early Child Care and Education Enhancement Program in May of 2000. That legislation addressed three important principles in Maryland's early childhood care and education programs: (1) Judy Centers -- The need for greater coordination among the providers of early childhood education and support services was essential in focusing the services and resources of the various programs and providers on families with high needs in designated Title I school zones. This type of collaboration provides a greater opportunity for positive outcomes for children and greater school readiness; (2) Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) -- the need for a uniform assessment of success in early childhood education. This allows the State to better measure progress with some definition of success, and a means to assess that success; and (3) Program Accreditation and Preschool for All -- the need to ensure that all preschool age children receive quality care and education by promoting professional development for the early education workforce and accreditation for childcare providers. This report provides a current review of accomplishments and challenges that took place during State Fiscal Year 2017. [For the 2016 report, see ED615935.] (ERIC).
