Abstract
In an era where technology continuously reshapes every aspect of daily life, ensuring the safety and efficiency of educational environments is paramount. This capstone project presents NurseryTag, an IoT-based RFID attendance and gate monitoring system designed to address safety and administrative challenges at the GAD-Child Development Center in Central Luzon State University. NurseryTag automates attendance tracking, enhances student security, and streamlines administrative processes. Each student is issued a unique RFID tag that interacts with RFID readers to capture attendance data and monitor gate activity, thereby preventing unauthorized student exits during class hours. A user-friendly web application provides real-time visibility into attendance and gate activity, enabling teachers to register students and assign tags efficiently. Additionally, administrators can generate customizable reports to support data-driven decision-making. Features such as SMS notifications and a buzzer alert system further enhance safety by notifying staff of unauthorized exits. The system was rigorously tested at the GAD-CDC, earning positive feedback from both end-users and IT experts. NurseryTag effectively demonstrates its capability to automate attendance processes, improve security, and enhance the overall management of the learning center. The project underscores the significant benefits of integrating IoT solutions in educational settings to support improved safety and operational efficiency.
