The Child Care Management System or short "CCMS" is an open-source project aimed at providing a comprehensive and efficient solution for managing child care centers, daycares, and similar childcare facilities. This system is built on top of no-code or low-code applications, leveraging their simplicity and flexibility to enable easy customization and seamless integration.
Child Management: Effortlessly manage child records, including personal details, emergency contacts, medical information, and attendance records. Staff Management: Keep track of staff members, their roles, schedules, certifications, and important documents. Billing and Payments: Simplify the billing process, generate invoices, track payments, and manage financial transactions. Enrollment and Waitlist: Streamline the enrollment process, maintain waitlists, and manage availability. Attendance Tracking: Track attendance for children and staff, generate reports, and monitor attendance patterns. Communication: Enable seamless communication between parents, staff, and administrators through notifications, messages, and announcements. Reporting and Analytics: Generate insightful reports and analytics to gain valuable insights into the operations of the child care center. Integration: Easily integrate with other systems or platforms for data synchronization and enhanced functionality.

The Child Care Management System is built on top of several no-code and low-code applications, providing a powerful and flexible foundation for development. The key technologies and frameworks used in this project include:
NoCodeBase: A robust no-code platform that simplifies the creation and customization of database-driven applications. NoCoDB: A low-code platform that enables rapid application development and seamless data management. Rei3: A no-code platform that offers a visual interface for building web applications without the need for coding. SeaTable: An open-source spreadsheet-like database platform that allows for easy data organization, collaboration, and automation. These technologies were carefully selected to ensure the project's ease of use, scalability, and maintainability, empowering developers of all skill levels to contribute and extend the functionality of the Child Care Management System.
Please note that the use case and available features of the Child Care Management System (CCMS) can vary depending on the chosen no-code application. For instance, when deploying CCMS with Seatable, the system may leverage forms for data entry and management, providing a streamlined experience. However, Seatable may not support user logins for parents. On the other hand, deploying CCMS with NoCodeBase offers more robust user role management and customizable page features, allowing for tailored user experiences and versatile access controls. The selection of a specific no-code application will influence the functionality and capabilities of CCMS, enabling child care centers to choose the platform that best aligns with their unique requirements.
Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/PierAlbertoPierini/ChildCareManagementSystem.git Navigate to the project directory: cd child-care-management-system Follow the installation instructions for each of the underlying technologies (NoCodeBase, NoCoDB, Rei3, SeaTable) in their respective documentation. Customize the system to fit your child care center's specific requirements by configuring the database schemas, workflows, and UI components. Run the application and start managing your child care center efficiently.
