This daycare center is a comprehensive childcare facility with a total floor area of 2,222㎡ and a maximum capacity of 300 children. It consists of 14 childcare rooms across 2 floors and 6 play areas, and is available free of charge to employees with children aged from 0 to 5 years old.

Operating hours are set from 7 a.m. to as late as 10 p.m., allowing employees who adopt flexible working hours or return home late to adjust drop-off and pick-up times accordingly. Four meals a day made from eco-friendly ingredients are also provided free of charge.

A total of 50 staff members, including early childhood education specialists, nurses, nutritionists, and cooks, are on duty at all times to care for the children. For children aged 3 to 5, two native English-speaking instructors stay in the classroom to provide daily guidance and English education.
