🌱 Child Development Tracking System - Angular, ASP.NET Core, SQL-Server

A full-stack web application built with ASP.NET Core Web API, Angular, and SQL Server, designed to help parents, teachers, and administrators track and support children’s developmental milestones in a structured, data-driven way. The backend follows SOLID principles to ensure maintainable and extensible architecture, while authentication and authorization are handled securely with JWT tokens and role-based access control (RBAC). This combination allows for scalable user management, transparent communication, and reliable insights, replacing scattered manual tracking with a centralized digital platform.

❗ The Problem

Child development is often tracked informally—through paper records, scattered notes, or memory. This leads to:

Missed milestones or delayed interventions.

Poor communication between parents and teachers.

Lack of reliable data for administrators to analyze and improve programs.

💡 The Solution

The Child Development Tracking System provides a centralized digital platform where:

Parents can monitor their child’s progress and receive timely updates.

Teachers can assign and record milestone achievements.

Admins can manage users, define milestones, and generate reports.

This ensures every child’s development is tracked consistently, transparently, and collaboratively.

🎯 Key Benefits

Early Intervention: Delays are flagged quickly with automated alerts.

Transparency: Parents, teachers, and admins share one source of truth.

Efficiency: Replaces manual paperwork with structured digital records.

Scalability: Role-based access supports growth across schools and programs.

Data-Driven Insights: Reports highlight patterns for program improvement.
