Analysis and Annotation

There are five categories in this system, which are "DMS Database", "Payments and Fees", "Medical Report", "Announcements", "Reminders".

Description of Features:

• The user can add new record (enrollment), delete a record or edit a record in "DMS Database".
• "Payments and Fees" keeps track of all the transaction of the daycare management especially tuition fees.
• "Medical Report" is a report that contains the medical information of every single in the daycare center. The user can print is for his/her own hard copy.
• "Announcements" is where the user prints out all announcements to parents.
• The user can use "Reminders" to print out reminders to parents.

Expansion and reuse

The expansion of this system is moderate. The feature of the system is almost complete. But, we still can expanse it to a multi-users environment. Also, some bugs fixed and error protection could make the system function better and the user will not get confuse or do not know what to do when there is something wrong.

The reusability of code is very moderate. I can be reuse for only something related to daycare management. If different daycare center needs a system like this, a simple change is needed to complete the task.
