Yeah, apartments is one part of it all. I'm trying to find a place in a kindergarten and it's hell. In Berlin kindergartens are free for some time and there are no free places. My wife today tried to find a place in a private kindergarten, no luck even in one for 800 EUR/month.
If we knew German language and customs better maybe it would be easier. But then I would probably just think about creating our own.
We're getting desperate. If anyone knows about a place in a kita in Berlin for a 2 year old, please let me know! Private or whatever, or some kind of coop.
- orangeplanet 8y agowhy not learn to speak German?
- hawski 8y agoI'm learning, but can't do this in a day or a month you know? Ich kann Deutsche sprechen, aber ich bin langsam und nicht so gut. Leute haben oft keine Geduld, wenn man langsam ist.
- tjansen 8y agoSorry, can't help for Berlin. My only advice is to speak to as many parents as possible. Ideally you talk to the Kita before the spots become officially available. Then you don't have to compete with 50 other parents, and they don't have to do deal with 50 applications...
- matt4077 8y agoI doubt speaking German helps much. Or, at least, I know plenty Germans here with the same problem. If I ever have a child, I would probably join the church across the road just to get a spot for them. Sorry for not being able to help! I hope Berlin treats you well otherwise.
