 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.

1
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.

2
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.

 CHAPTER TWO:

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.0 Overview

This chapter is concerned with the literature review. In this chapter, there are three
subsections. The first subsection talks about the types of daycare that exist. The second
subsection talks about other works that are related to this project, their advantages and lacks.
The last subsection contains the summary an outline of the entire chapter.

2.1 Introduction

According to (Thomas, 2011) an information system (IS) can be defined as a set of

interrelated components that retrieve, process, store and distribute information to aid decision
making and control within an organization. In addition, information system involves a variety
of information technologies such as computers, software, database, internet, mobile devices
and much more, to perform specific tasks, interact with and inform various actors.

According to (Laudon, 2005) Management information system (MIS) is a computerized

database of financial information organized and programmed in such a way that it produces
regular reports on every operation for every management level in an organization or
company. Usually, it is also possible to acquire special reports from the system with ease.
The major purpose of MIS is to provide managers with feedback on their own performance,
the management can monitor the organization as a whole. The information presented by the
MIS typically displays “actual” data over “planned” results and results from the previous
year. Therefore, it measures progress against goals.

In this day and age, there is increasing need for day care centers due to working parents and
the need for adequate care for children. There has to be an efficient management to keep up
with the demands. For the purpose of making work easy in day care centers, day care owners
subscribe to or purchase childcare management system.

4
Day care management system is basically a management tool for day care a management unit
that allows them to virtually control every aspect of the day care management with a user
friendly multi user interface. For parents, it serves as a tool to monitor their children’s
activity during the day, for the management, it helps to determine the aim of the day care,
making long term plans, determine performance of staffs and success of the day care.

2.2 Types of day care

The day care industry is like an extension of parental care to a larger, controlled institutions.
A large majority of childcare is still performed by parents, in-house nannies or relatives.
Mentioned below are of the various kind of day care we have
Non-profit day care: This kind day care renders services for free, it is more likely to produce
a good quality environment in which children can thrive. Not for profit day care has some
structural advantage over for profit day care. They may receive better treatments especially if
it is attached to a religious organization like church or mosque.
The location of the day care within a school may provide the advantage of coordinated school
program and the advantage of same location for parents who have older school kids, work in
the school or parents who are students themselves.
Parents are monotonously the legal owners of the non-profit day care and will regularly
provide service in areas they specialize in, for instance, accounting and finance, legal advice
etc. for free.

For-profit day care: for profit day care on the other hand rely on parents’ payment to run.
While this in no way determines the care provided by the care providers. The time spent on
wondering how to stay ‘in the black’ would be better invested in a program or receive
accreditation. The organization purchases better equipment, keep facilities upgraded. It
benefits the little people for whom it is intended, the children.

2.3 Related Work

A software tracking system has overtime proven to be very important component of any
organization or institution. Several tracking systems have been proposed for various daycare.
Below are some of them.

5
2.3.1 EZcare childcare management software

EZcare childcare management software manages childcare, preschool, and aftercare needs
with an easy-to-use tool that helps organize family and child data. it is a web-based solution
for child care organizations to manage their marketing. it can manage parent inquiries. Once a
child is enrolled, EZCare’s integration allows the ability to transfer parent and child
information into EZCare, saving the time of having to re-enter this information and reducing
errors.
Advantage:
Provide efficient database for parents and children.
Disadvantage:
Compulsory need for internet connection in order to access the product, no option for offline.
Records vaccine but not allergy.

2.3.2 The Pre School Partner

This is a software-based daycare management system. The system is available for a single
PC, it contains a license key for 20 PC’s . It facilitates daily management of the daycare by
tracking and providing all child’s, staff and parents or guardian information including drop
off and pickup contacts, child schedules and attendance.
Advantage:
It is user friendly and work can be done offline
Disadvantage:
The software is restricted to one PC.
No record of child’s allergies if any

2.3.3 Power School Kindergarten System

Power School is a cloud-based nursery and kindergarten management system. It is an

excellent tool for school-parent communication. Parents conveniently and instantly get
information from kindergarten on their children’s activities.
Advantage:
It is easy to use and efficient.

6
Disadvantage:
Needs internet at all time to operate.
2.3.4 Proposed solution

Due to some of the disadvantages of the above related works, this system will solve the
problem of registering children with allergies or other related issues, this will make it easy for
the staff to know what to feed which child and how much to feed the child in order to avoid
risking the child’s health in anyway. This will also enable parents to update their child’s
record in case of any new development.
The system will also make storing of records easy and safe for long period of time. It will
significantly improve the quality of work in the daycare.

2.4 Summary

This chapter provides a review of current literature on recommended systems. the first section
of this chapter talks about information system and management information system, their
benefits and use in an organization. Next, the chapter talks about the types of daycare that
exist which are the non-profit and the for-profit daycare. The third section of this chapter
talks about other related works that have been done in relation to this topic.

 CHAPTER THREE
REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
3.1 Overview

This chapter gives account of analysis and design of daycare management system, the
methodology used for the system development, the requirements of the daycare management
system (functional and non-functional requirements), the tools used for the development of
the system (hardware and software).

Furthermore, this chapter describes the model of the system in form of simplified, complete,
and consistent abstraction of the system created for better understanding of the system using
DFDs and UML diagrams. The system design; system architecture, user interfaces and the
database design which are physical view of the system are also displayed in this chapter.

3.2 Proposed Methodology

General System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

System Development Life Cycle coheres to relevant phases that are important for developers,
for instance planning, analysis, design, implementation and maintenance which are explained
in the section below. There are various system development life cycle model available, the
oldest one being the waterfall model originally referred to as the “System development life
cycle” is a sequence of phases in which the output of each phase determines the input of the
next stage. These stages follow the same basic steps. Other SDLC include: agile
methodology, rapid application development methodology, prototyping methodology, spiral
methodology. The choice of using any of these methodologies depends on the nature of the
project.

However, the methodology chosen for this project is the waterfall model because it is a
software development process that emphasizes logical progression of steps to be taken
throughout the software development life cycle and also because it allows for early design
changes.

Below are the stages involved in waterfall methodology:

8
Planning: In this first stage, there is a meeting with the customer to understand the
requirements. This stage is the most fundamental phase as any miscommunication or
misinterpretation (at this stage) may give rise to the software that is being developed. The key
activity of project planning is the process of clear, discrete activities and the work needed to
complete each activity within a single project.

Analyzing: As per the requirements, the software and hardware needed for the proper
completion of the project is analyzed in this phase. Such features are decided at this stage;
from deciding which computer language should be used for designing the software, to the
database system that can be used for the smooth functioning of the software.

Design: the requirements that are gathered in the previous phase are broken down into logical
units, so that the software process becomes easy for implementation. This is the stage, when
the software requirements along with the hardware requirements for every unit are identified.
Then the designs are made accordingly. The interrelation between the various units of the
software are identified and the connections are made, using algorithms and diagrams. To sum
it up, this is the phase, where the fundamental work for actual programming and
implementation is done.

Implementation: In this phase the actual development of the software takes place. This phase
is also known as coding and verification phase. Based on the algorithms written in the
previous phase, software program is written. For every module, software code is written and
tested, to check if the correct output is received.

Integration: And testing with the coding of the application complete, the testing of the
written code now comes into scene. Testing checks if there are any flaws in the designed
software and if the software has been designed as per the listed specifications. A proper
execution of this stage ensures that the customer interested in the created software, will be
satisfied with the finished product. If there are any flaws, the software development process
must step back to the design phase.

Maintenance: this makes for the final phase of the waterfall model, where the software is
organized at the client’s side, after it has undergone thorough testing. After the deployment of
the software, routine maintenance work is carried out. Once the software has been deployed,
in case the customer asks for any changes or enhancements, then the entire process is
restarted.

3.5 Requirement Analysis

A software requirement specification is a complete description of the behavior of a system to

be developed and may include a set of use cases that described the user will have with the
software. It also contains non-functional requirements. non-functional requirements impose

10
constraint on the. Some of the commonly used requirement of analysis and specification
methods are system design structured analysis design (SSAD) and object-oriented analysis
design (OOAD).

5.1 Overview

This chapter covers the evaluation of the project, recommendations and conclusion. It
presents the objective assessment which is related with the aim of the project and also the
context of the project that gives the general conclusion of the project. The chapter further
discusses the limitations of the project, the challenge encountered, future enhancement and
recommendations.

5.2 Evaluation

5.2.1 Objective Assessment

The Daycare Information Management system has accomplished some its aims, at this point,
the application can:
Allow Admin, Staff and parents to login and out of the system.
Allow Admin to manage other users.
Allow the administrator to add and manage staffs, children, and parents accounts.
Enable the staff to manage children details including records of allergies and daily activities.
Enable Admin and staff to manage attendance.
Enable admin to add new user and also assign username and password.

5.3 Limitations and challenges

This system is developed for a Nigerian based day care, the system is therefore limited within
Nigerian as it is developed to follow the Nigerian daycare processes. For a user to able to the
system, an account must be created and a username and password must be assigned to that
user.

During the analysis and implementation of this system, a couple of challenges were faced.
When analyzing the system requirement, it was difficult to understand what the stakeholder
wanted because they probably didn’t know what they as the outcome of the system.
This challenged was solved by applying skills like; problem solving skill, good
communication skill as well as critical thinking.

29
5.4 Future Enhancements
The system can be further enhanced by making it both a web and mobile application. This
will make it easy and more efficient as it can be used by multiple devices at the same time.

5.5 Recommendation

To make the system more efficient, below are some recommendations and future works.
As education is central to development, there should be availability of facility that will
stakeholders participate in school improvement programs and decision making. To facilitate
easy information access to such bodies, the desktop application could be further enhanced by
integrating additional reports required by daycares or preschools.

5.6 Conclusion

In here, I would like to conclude my work. The project Daycare Management Information
System is a computerized Package designed to fulfil all the required task and activities in the
Daycare. It is a great improvement over the manual system.
