Wrapping Up the NurtureNest Admin Dashboard
I’ve just wrapped up building the admin dashboard prototype for NurtureNest, the fictional childcare platform I introduced in my first post.
While the public-facing site focuses on parents and families, the admin dashboard is designed to support internal staff managing day-to-day operations.
What the Dashboard Includes
- Dynamic stat cards showing total enrollments, new inquiries, pending messages, and attendance
- A weekly enrollment chart powered by Chart.js
- Core admin tools like a search bar, profile dropdown
- Sections to manage enrollments, daily attendance logs, messages, event calendar, and site content updates
- Editable content areas for FAQs and homepage highlights, enabling non-technical staff to update information easily

What I Learned
This part of the project helped me sharpen my frontend skills in:
- Handling and displaying mock data dynamically
- Organizing UI components and workflows for internal users
- Applying JavaScript for interactivity, including event handling and DOM manipulation
- Integrating third-party libraries like Chart.js for data visualization
Working with mock data allowed me to simulate real-world admin workflows without setting up a backend, keeping the focus on usability and interface design.
What’s Next?
With the admin dashboard wrapped up, I’m excited to move on to:
- Deepening my JavaScript knowledge
- Learning to work with APIs
- Experimenting with tools like Firebase to add authentication and live data handling
