Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Students Management Information System (SMIS) in improving administrative efficiency at Little Tots House, Inc., a private preschool institution. Employing a quantitative-correlational research design, the study involved 15 purposively selected staff members who assessed administrative performance before and after the LSMIS implementation. The investigation focused on five key domains: accuracy of learner records, speed of information retrieval, timeliness of report generation, ease of communication and coordination, and user satisfaction with administrative processes. Results revealed that prior to the system’s deployment, the institution faced challenges such as data inconsistencies, delays, and inefficient coordination due to reliance on manual procedures. Post-implementation findings demonstrated significant improvements across all domains, confirming that the LSMIS streamlined workflows, minimized errors, and enhanced user satisfaction. Statistical analysis validated a significant difference in administrative efficiency, underscoring the system’s potential as a scalable solution for similar educational settings.
