Abstract

This project is based on the fact that in Malaysia, there is no system which is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology that had been applied in any kindergarten institutions; which is for kids' supervision and auto attendance taking purposes. Although RFID technology had emerged from the late 1920s, but its application for that time is very limited as it is used for civil aviation only. Plus, the cost is much higher and the tags size is bigger compared to RFID evolution these days. The RFID technology now can be applied in many types of application. One of them is for the kindergarten kids' monitoring with auto-attendance taking system. This system is very suitable for the kindergarten because RFID based system is very efficient and faster compared to manual way of taking attendance. Plus, this project system can increase the awareness of parents and teachers regarding to the children presence time at kindergarten because a SMS notification will be sent to the parents (date and time arrive). Today, not all of the parents sent their kids to the kindergarten by themselves. They might go by bus, with relatives or even with neighbours. Although the cost is a bit higher compared to conventional way, but the price is worthy as this system is durable and the tags are reusable for long-term use. Furthermore, the kindergarten institutions are not consuming a very large space contrast to universities, primary schools or office building; thus, the kindergarten administrator does not have to spend too much money to invest on this system. This Kindergarten Smart Card project contains three main elements in order to make sure that this project completes successfully, that is designing part, implementing part and integrating the devices (hardware and software); which are RFID reader, RFID tags, RFID antenna, GSM modem, Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a database.
