The open kitchen provides ▲a washbasin ▲bottle cleanser, bottle brush, and bottle sterilizer ▲microwave for thawing baby food ▲water purifier with hot water function ▲coffee pot, enabling parents to manage infant supplies.
Additionally, the center plans to continuously maintain a comfortable and hygienic nursing and care environment by using eco-friendly materials for infants, a heating and cooling system to maintain appropriate temperatures according to the season, and air sterilizers.
