Bumblebee is great for daily use and for tracking interested families, enrolled families, and alumni.

Pros

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

Cons

It would be great if there were other elements added in like family communication in real time.

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.

I was so sad to hear that this software company was shutting down, it found a great system to organizing childcare information.

Pros

Super user friendly and really did a great job of organizing information.

Cons

It was glitchy every now and again but worked well for the most part
