Drop Zone Kids LLC is a flexible childcare play center suitable for children aged 1 to 12. Parents can drop off their children for a few hours whenever needed, making it extremely convenient. The facility offers a variety of activities. Upon arrival, children are greeted by a dedicated toy area featuring building blocks, dollhouses, puzzles, and various board games suitable for different age groups. Active children can enjoy the slide, climbing area, and small ball pit, where running and jumping are safe. Drop Zone also has art and craft tables, where staff provide paints, paper, stickers, and craft materials for children to enjoy drawing.

Group activities such as music and movement, interactive dancing, and small competitions are occasionally organized, helping children learn cooperation and sharing through play. Children won’t get bored even after spending extended time in the play zone.

Pollywog’s Play Pad is an indoor play area designed for children aged 6 months to 4 years. Daily kids activities are plentiful, starting with a morning music circle where children dance and sing in a circle. This is followed by arts and crafts classes, such as drawing and sticker making. There's also learning time, where small groups work on simple educational games. This is followed by a sensory exploration area with a sandbox and a ball pit for children to touch and play with. Finally, there's free play time, where children can explore the slide, hut, or toy area. Weekly themes, such as "Ocean Week" or "Animal Week," allow children to learn new things while having fun. Pollywog's teachers are all trained in background and first aid, and are patient and able to provide timely guidance. In addition to day care, the school also offers evening care, making it convenient for parents to manage their needs. Parents have commented that "Pollywog's is a great transition for their children before they adjust to school."
