This paper presents a Web based Child Monitoring System for monitoring of children in the Pre-School Educational system. The prime objective of this research work is to design a system that can provide parents the opportunity to obtain real time information or the state of their children or ward via their mobile phone from a remote location. And to achieve this, web cameras are mounted in all the classrooms and strategic locations within the school premises which capture and store activities going on in the classrooms and within the school premises in form of video. These videos are served into a web portal, such that any Parent or guardian who wishes to access the information or videos will login into the web portal with a web address using their GPRS enabled mobile phones, Laptops, palmtops, Tablets, Desktop Computer etc. The researcher adopted the object modeling technique design methodology to develop the system. The programming languages used in developing the system are, Hyper text markup language (HTML) in conjunction with the Hypertext Pre Processor (PHP) scripting language, JQuery and Real Time Media Protocol (RTMP) development tools. Information used by the system was stored on the internet with the use of the MySql database, RTP server and File storage. This system has been tested and found to reduce frequent calls and visits to schools as usually embarked upon by parents to check on their wards, since parents can react to any observed issues through instant live chat to administrator in the school. The development of a web based child monitoring system can help schools to manage its security problems and also provide the school with computer systems that will store its student’s information efficiently in a database.
