Was a great product

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: BumbleBee was a great childcare management software product. I would log into it at least 3 time a week. This product was a wonderful tool for when we had to give info to other organizations such as child outreach regarding language, ethnicity etc. All you had to do was click on a child's name and all the info that the parents imputed was right there. Very easy to use. So sad that it closed down!

Pros:

This product was easy to use. It gave a lot of information on the children and families that was easy to access. Had a great archive feature. Great for printing out sign in sheets.

Cons:

What I liked least about the Bumblebee Childcare Management Software was that it shut down last summer.

Pros:

Very easy to use and it keeps lots of information well organized.
