Abstract

This project focuses on the development of a comprehensive child day care management system designed to streamline and enhance the operational efficiency of day care centres. The primary problem addressed is the lack of an integrated platform that effectively manages bookings, activity tracking, notifications, and payments. To solve this, the proposed system incorporates modules for registration, login, booking management, activity tracking, an administrative dashboard, a parent portal, a caregiver interface, a staff portal, payment processing, and training management. The development of this project involved requirements gathering, system and database design, implementation, and testing. Key results demonstrate that the system significantly improves communication between parents, caregivers, and administrators, optimizes scheduling and resource allocation, and enhances overall user satisfaction. The system’s user-friendly interface and robust functionality make it a valuable tool for day care centres seeking to improve their service delivery and operational workflows. The proposed system is built using HTML for the front-end and PHP for the back end, with MySQL as the database, managed via phpMyAdmin and facilitated by XAMPP software, alongside PL/SQL for complex database operations, including stored procedures, triggers, and events to automate actions such as rejecting overly long booking requests. Additionally, Power BI is used to create an interactive administrative dashboard, by retrieving data from MySQL database. The database backup is performed by storing backup databases into Microsoft Azure. This system has been undergoing a testing phase, during which all functionalities were tested before deployment to end users. User acceptance testing has been conducted with real users through a survey to obtain feedback. The survey is divided into three parts: design interface, system functionality, and workflow of the system. The results of the survey indicate that users are generally satisfied with the system, highlighting the intuitive design interface, reliable functionality, and smooth workflow. Minor suggestions for improvement were noted and addressed, leading to enhancements that further improved the overall user experience.
