Are you looking for a Tagesmutter in Berlin and are wondering where to find one? Unfortunately, you won't find them in the Kita-Navigator but we've compiled lists for each district in Berlin that you can use.
Want to know more about the difference? Read our article "Kita versus Tagesmutter – what’s better?"
Spoiler alert: Some aspects are the same as for Kitas, namely: Tagesmütter hold an official certification or degree, which is checked by the Jugendamt. The same guidelines (the Berliner Bildungsprogramm / Berlin educational program) applies as at Kita. They also accept the Kita-Gutschein (Kita voucher).
Now let's dive into how and where to find a Tagesmutter or Tagespflege in Berlin.
