The Bee Kind Program - a series of programs designed to promote positive social skills.

The Bee Kind Program is actually a set of four, half-hour programs presented in elementary schools and day care centers. The programs use puppetry, literature, verbal sharing and an art activity to reinforce the concepts. The programs were developed specifically for the preschool level through grade 2. Each half-hour program can stand alone. However, we feel it is better for children to view all four programs. Children need a lot of positive reinforcement and we feel each program helps to reinforce the preceding programs.

The programs are set up accordingly:

• "Bee Kind" (our bee puppet mascot) greets the children and discusses the meaning of being kind.
• All Children are encouraged to participate.
• The presenter reads or tells a brief story.
• "Bee Kind" and the presenter discuss the story with the children emphasizing the positive aspects of the story.
• The children are then directed in an art project relating to the story.
• While they work, the presenter moves among the children offering verbal encouragement on their efforts.
• When the art project is complete, the children each receive a "Bee Kind" sticker and are reminded to "Be Kind".
• A parent letter is sent home with each child to inform the parent of the program and encourage them to reinforce positive behavior in their children.
