4 Places to Drop Your Kids Off on Valentine’s Day

Source

That pretty much sums up life as a parent. It’s hard to go anywhere without your little ones tailing you like a second shadow (I might be guilty of tailing my mom as well).

While we love our little ones, it’s important not to forget ourselves as well. Take this Valentine’s Day off from your tots for a little romantic rendezvous with your partner. Go for a dreamy dinner, an idyllic stroll through the boardwalk hand-in-hand, a relaxing movie date, or pamper yourself with a trip to the spa.

“How am I supposed to do that with a toddler toddling after me?” you might ask. Worry not Mummies and Daddies, here are 4 places where you can drop your little ones off before you go on your lovey-dovey date.

1. KIDS DISCOVERY SESSION at Let ‘em Play

Location: Let ‘em Play, 18 Boon Lay Way, #01-100, Singapore 609966. (Behind Tradehub 21 McDonald’s)
