ATTENTION FAMILIES! Exciting changes are coming to the McBurney Y Early Learner Programs! Earlier this fall, we surveyed our Early Learners families and using this IHHGEDFN�ZH�KDYH�LGHQWL¾HG�VHYHUDO�QHZ�ZD\V�WR�EHWWHU�VHUYH�WKH�0F%XUQH\�<�community. Here’s what we have planned for 2013.

A couple programs will have brand new names. Along with changing our logo, the Y is also changing a handful of program names. The contents of the programs are not changing, just the names. The names are being upgraded to EHWWHU�UH¿HFW�ZKDW�FKLOGUHQ�DFWXDOO\�OHDUQ�DQG�GR�LQ�WKH�SURJUDP�

Here are the new names you can expect to see in January.

Let’s Get Ready – formally known as Toddling AroundReady, Set, Math & Read! – formally known as Pre-School PrepLittle Artist – formally known as Little PicassosFamily Art - formally known as HandprintsReady, Set, Science! - formally known as Little Scientists We are also really excited about two new programs we have created based on your feedback: Baby + Me Play Date and Story Song and Shimmy – a Music and Movement class. Baby + Me Play Date is a My Grown Up and Me class for caregivers and infants (ages 0 – 18 months). Strap on or stroll with your baby around our indoor track, learn easy at-home activities, pick up quick relaxation techniques, and share experiences with others who are also raising new babies. Music + Movement is also getting an upgrade. Music + Movement is now Story Song and Shimmy – a Music and Movement class. Each class will include an interactive and fun story read out loud, a new dance, and several sing along songs. We will provide the maracas, you come ready to sing and dance. This class is also a My Grown Up and Me Class. Below is a quick reference listing of our Early Learner programs and the days of the week they will be offered in 2013.
