A child development assessment, teacher accountability, and parental information system and method is described. The system employs a mobile device application which facilitates a process of informing parents of the progress of their children within a Montessori program structure while simultaneously providing an avenue by which teachers can convey real-time results of the child's progress in a given assigned task. Students are assigned a task in class, and teachers photograph the progress or end result of the task as completed by the students. The captured pictures are uploaded, and are accessible from the mobile device application by the parent/guardian of each student, providing a record of progress over time to the parent. Photos/video of the student's work are compared against mastery photos/videos present on a database.
