There are new procedures this year when coming into the Judy Center. Before anyone can visit the Judy Center you must first go to Cradlerock’s front office and check-in. Once you have checked-in and gotten a visitor pass you will be able to come to the Judy Center.  If you come right to the Judy Center you will be asked to go and check-in at the front office. This is following HCPSS visitor policy.
