So, to help my mother-in-law, I've participated in a training for day care centers. It's a good experience as well as I have small kids and I learned how to take care of the kids - food, activities, health, etc.
Nonetheless, throughout the training, I tried to think of ways to also help the day care centers. Some of the major problems I found are:
1. Scratches / bruises are a no-no at day cares
There's a huge chance for a day care to be filed a law suit if anything like that happens. But what if the bruises / scratches come from home? How would the day care center prove that?
2. Activities & Milestones
The kids tend to spend more time at day-care. The only time parents would have for the kids would be on the weekends. So it's very important for day-cares to be able to understand and detect if kids are progressing slower than the supposed milestones.
So, after the training, I decided to build a web-app for the day care centers. The current web-app focuses on recording check ins and activities, and keep track of milestone checklists.
One thing I love about building new things are exploring the possibilities of the development. For this specific web-app, I've learned that we can actually plot via javascript. I thought this was cool and I implemented it during the recording of check-in:
The caretaker would be able to mark bruises / scratches that they found at the kids' body upon
receiving the kid from the mom. The mom should also be filling in the same check-in prior to
sending the kid to the caretaker.
This app users the following technologies:
VB.Net, MVC, MsSQL, jQuery, Javascript, Linq, CSS, HTML, DataTable, API, JSON
The web-app is currently under beta testing at 2 day care centers. Will update with the feedback and more screenshots soon!
