Bee Helpful Overview
honeycombs of happiness
We have opened our 2nd Campus so jump on the 15 % early bird specials. By operating at near capacity last year we are ecstatic to be able to make room for serving the children of the Pee Dee. Our expansion brings our totals to 14 public schools and 2 private. With the help of Pee Dee Community Fellowship partnering with us we are able to have all of our kids on their buses by 2:30 pm. Yes that is right! The church gives us the use of their buses to make sure no child is stuck at school any longer than absolute necessary.
Call Dawn for remaining before August 15th specials at 307-4951. We have just a few slots left give us a call.

BIRTHDAYS ARE SPECIAL
If your child has a birthday while they are with us, they will get a cake with their name on it. Each month we love to celebrate all the ones that are in our care. There is no charge for this service it is our gift to you for them being with us.
PART TIME SLOTS (Limited amounts available)
We offer part-time slots. That is true most places do not consider this an option. The day by day total is $18. We wish to help you no matter your situation if we can.
WHY WE CAN OFFER THIS SPECIAL
We are proudly associated with Pee Dee Community Fellowship www.pdcf.org . You can read about them in our Christ-Centered section. They give us a certain number of slots for the fall to step in and help make our super program cost effective. We know that those places of service that are in our realm of helping might not have the help that we do with the church.
WORD TO THE WISE
Over the last couple of years, with our rapid growth, we have been alarmed about what other daycares have tried to shade about us in our success of service. God has done some amazing things and we have been able to give $54,000 plus dollars in helping children in our daycare with grants. As you do your shopping around we put it all out front and on the web. We have seen some who have promised all what we do but cannot over time come through. We strongly urge you to shop around and if you are having a tough time feel free to ask us more questions. We know it is all about the Happy Hearts of our Heaven Sent.
FALL REGISTRATION FEES
$55 is what is due per child to secure your slot. The registration will be given back to your child throughout the fall. Look at our overview section to see how we go a little farther than most. All registrations are non-refundable
CHRIST CENTERED
We are connected with Pee Dee Community Fellowship. They are a Purpose Driven Church that meets at the Julia 4 at 1110 S. Irby Street in Florence on Sundays @10:10. They are a creative, innovative, and causal place of Worship. We invite you to research the church at www.pdcf.org .

When communicating this information over the phone or in a note not witnessed by a staff member, please give your name and the name of the person picking up your child. We ask you inform this person that for security reasons we will request some identification prior to releasing your child to them.
DISCIPLINE & GUIDANCE POLICY
Guiding the behavior of children, helping them develop a core of values, and building healthy personalities are important tasks adults must take seriously.
We believe children learn self-control when adults treat them with dignity and use discipline techniques such as:
- Guiding children by setting clear, consistent and fair limits for the group behavior; or in the case of older children, helping them to set their own limits;
- Valuing mistakes as learning opportunities;
- Listening when children talk about their feelings and frustrations;
- Guiding children to resolve conflicts and modeling skills that helps children to solve their own problems;
- Redirecting children to more acceptable behavior or activity;
- Patiently reminding children of the guidelines to a good time as needed.
- Abusive language is not allowed at the Bee Helpful program.
General discipline techniques involve positive reinforcement of the good behavior and careful examination of behavior, and the child will be directed to an alternate activity.
