DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DAYCARE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
child daycare system is the care of a child during the day by a person other than the child’s legal guardian, basically performed by someone outside the child’s immediate family. it is typically ongoing for a specific period, such as parents work time. the system will be used to register a child, monitor and verify who drops and picks the child, log of child’s activity, parents/guardian details, parents will be able to update a child’s details (e.g. record allergy, drug administration time if any etc.). it can also take a formal structure with education, child development and discipline.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
Early education and care system play a very significant role in the growth of children, preparing them for school and warranting parents the opportunity to engage in the workforce. It is believed that children need a warm, safe, colorful environment and diversified experience that focuses attention on ‘play’. By making these things available, a child will grow and develop at a pace that is just right for them.
The daycare strives to provide quality care for all the children through age appropriate activities that will help the children grow physically, emotionally, mentally and socially. High standards for all staffs is maintained and child ratio is kept small to ensure adequate care for each child. This system will make it easy to track and keep record of children and their parents.
1.2 Background and Motivation
Background
In Nigeria, organized education of the child below primary school age did not receive official recognition until very recently; it got the attention it deserves. The concept of infant schools was introduced in Nigeria by the missionaries in the early 20th century when such schools were set up in the Western and Eastern regions of Nigeria. Nowadays, early childhood educational institutions are located in various places and buildings campus of universities and Colleges, premises of some industries and business organizations, church premises, residential buildings with unprecedented expansion owing to the high demand for early childhood care and education by parents (Ejieh, 2006).
It is acceptable to say the application of computer technology in any venture would help in making that venture easier and the benefits of using a computer to manage children data in daycare clearly outweighs that of manual method which involves written documents.
Motivation
The motivation behind this project is the creche located on the campus of baze university abuja. Considering the fact that there no such thing as children’s records or any form of children activity log that can be presented to the parents or guardians of the children. I got the inspiration to develop software that can track, register and provide information about the children.
1.3 Statement of Problem
The issues that lead to this project are experienced by the management, staff and parents of children, they include.
- Lack of efficient database storage system.
- Duplicate entry or registration.
- Poor graphical user interface.
- Time delay.
- No provision for allergy indication.
1.4 Aim and Objective
- To Design a system that will contain reliable database of all children admitted into the daycare.
- To have a system that will be used to establish an efficient means of tracking children in daycare.
- Verification of check in and out.
- Identification of children with allergy.
- Log of child’s activity while at the daycare.
- To allow room for parents to update a child’s record.
1.5 Significance of the Project
The implementation project will make it easy for daycare owners, staffs and parent to track children, provide adequate information about children, and register children both new and returning. It will allow parents to log into a digital system when to see the record of utilization pattern of the school, i.e., the child’s activity for that entire day.
It will limit the report of file loss thereby improving the security of the records the research project would serve as reference to others interested I further research of the topic.
1.6 Risk Assessment
Risk assessment assures that a daycare environment is safe and ideal for children, staff and parents.
Power outage: loss of power is one the major issues that could affect this system, to prevent this problem, laptops and desktops should always be fully charged when is power supply. UPS, inverters or generators should be provided if possible.
Loss of data: to prevent any loss of information, a piece of data should be backed up as it is registered.
1.7 Scope/Project Organization
This project is restricted to the creation of children daycare management system (A case study of AIM daycare center Kaduna) data used for the course of this project was gathered from this source.
