Pregnancy is such an exciting but also daunting journey, especially as an international couple in a big city like Berlin. The meetups with the other expecting parents have been a great way to feel connected and supported on this journey.
— —Alina and Andrzej N.
I felt really anxious about finding a Kita in Berlin but using your site and reading your blog really helped. It made my search easier and - even more importantly - reduced my stress regarding the whole process. I didn’t use any other resources, so your website was the first and the only stop for me, and it worked!
— —Ivan M.
