There aren’t much shops which open decently near my house or in my city. But from what I remember there is a particular shop which is located 15 km away from my house and it opened three or four months ago. It is a uh, kids service shop. So when parents are going to far away areas and they have to shop there and they don’t want their kids to make noise in those particular shops or while selecting their favorite items, they drop their children in this particular childc care center. It is titled as peekabu. Uh, so it is. The name is taken from a uh, cartoon character which is quite popular in my country. The children are dropped by parents here, here. And as it is in the middle of the city so it is quite accessible from different areas of my town. And it has minimum fees. You can go there for two or $3 and uh, uh, thely rate is also uh, quite cheap. Uh, the hourly rate is uh ah, $0.50 ah, per hour. And uh, the fees is two or $3 as per the age of the child. Parents tend to drop their children uh, often here. And whenever they have to go shopping or in an important meeting they can leave their children here. And this shop has uh, various facilities. The children can enjoy their favorite food, their snacks, or they will have uh, tablets and tv to enjoy their favorite cartoons and tv shows. Other than that, there are uh, supervisors who overlook the children. And they can uh, give them books and other reading materials so children can learn while being in this particular facility. I think this shop has changed the way the parents can shop nowadays. They will be uh, they, they could focus more on shopping rather than taking care of their children. Meanwhile, the children can also enjoy in the shop and uh, they could learn some important ah, things through reading books or tuning into their favorite tv shows.

There aren't many shops that open conveniently near my house or in my city. But, as far as I remember, there's a particular shop that opened about three or four months ago, located about 15 kilometers away from my house. It's a kids' daycare center called 'Peekaboo,' named after a popular cartoon character in my country. It's a great option for parents who need to go shopping or attend meetings and don't want their kids to make noise in those places. The center is conveniently located in the middle of the city, making it easily accessible from different areas of my town. The fees are very reasonable, starting at just $2 or $3, depending on the child's age. The hourly rate is also quite affordable, at just $0.50 per hour. Parents often drop their children off here, knowing they're in a safe and fun environment. The center offers various facilities to keep the kids entertained and engaged. They can enjoy their favorite snacks, watch cartoons and TV shows on tablets and TVs, and even read books with the supervision of the staff. I think this shop has revolutionized the way parents shop nowadays. They can now focus on their shopping without worrying about their children, knowing they're in a safe and stimulating environment. Meanwhile, the children can enjoy themselves, learn new things through reading and watching their favorite shows, and make new friends.
