THINGS THAT MAKE SENSE IN GERMAN KITA, that Seem Odd in American Daycare

Join us as we celebrate Jack's first day in Kita! Or rather, his first hour. This week we begun the process of "Eingewöhnung" or acclimation period as he begins the transition to full-time daycare in a Kita in Germany. As we navigate this new and exciting time, we though we would share all of the nuances for childcare in Germany. From enrolling your little one in a German Kita, to child development pedagogy, childcare costs in Germany and so much more! Does the German Kita do it better than the American daycare system? Let us know your thoughts below in the comments.

Originally from the Midwest of the USA, we moved to the #blackforest in 2013 and quickly embraced #expatlife. As American expats living in #Germany, things weren't always easy, but we've grown to love our life in Germany. We started this #travelvlog​ to share our experiences with friends and family, and to help those who are interested in moving overseas! Whether you are interested in moving abroad, working abroad, studying abroad, raising a family abroad, or just want to #traveleurope, we're here to give you a first person look at what lies ahead. 😊🎥🌎
