1:1 FAMILY SUPPORT
GIVE YOUR CHILDREN A STRONG START IN GERMANY.
Germany offers strong schooling and education pathways—often with very little cost. And there’s real support available to help families settle in.
But it only works if you understand the system early, plan the timing, and avoid the typical first-year mistakes that frustrate kids fast.
Response usually same day (or next business day). No newsletter, no follow-ups if you pass.

WHAT PARENTS WORRY ABOUT MOST.
THE FIRST YEAR RESULTS IN DEMOTIVATION.
- You waste hours trying to figure out whether a district school is a good fit—and still can’t be sure.
- It’s a black box what documents your child needs to get into the most in-demand school.
- You keep hearing horror stories about language classes—and you don’t know what’s true in your city.
- You can’t get a straight answer on whether a private school would actually be the smarter move.
- There’s no clear, public step-by-step guide for enrollment in your destination city.
- The school system has so many tracks that choosing the right one for your child feels like guesswork.
- You have heard about the German child allowance and marriage tax benefit, but have no clue how to get access to them.
And that uncertainty doesn’t stay on paper—it turns into a real fear that one wrong choice could shrink your child’s options later - or can cost you thousands of euros.
WHY US
BECAUSE WE’VE LIVED THIS AS PARENTS — NOT JUST “CONSULTANTS.”
We’ve had our own children in German schools, so we know the system from the inside. Our consultants have moved countries with kids, so they know the uncertainty—and the pressure to “get it right.” That's why we can offer empathetic counseling.
- Education path clarity — understand school types and what’s realistic for your child
- City-specific enrollment — what to do, where to go, and which documents matter
- Language + integration support — avoid the typical first-year frustration loop
- Childcare plan — what’s possible, what isn’t, and how to move forward anyway
- Family benefits setup — child allowance and marriage-related tax benefits explained and set up correctly
- A calmer first year — fewer setbacks, more confidence, and a child who actually feels okay in the new system
So your child can settle in with confidence—and you can stop carrying the whole move alone.

IS THIS 1:1 SUPPORT PROGRAM RIGHT FOR ME?
THE QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK MOST BEFORE THE MOVE.
In many places (especially for primary school), the address matters and placement can be district-based, with limited exceptions. While you can apply for one school, if that school has no slot, the school authority will place your child in another school close by.
With secondary schools it is often a black box, because your child will first be assigned to a German language class which is not held at every school.
That’s common. Many school and childcare steps depend on proof of address/registration, which can create a loop—so planning the sequence early matters. Usually, you would go for a home first. A place that you actually like. The school then follows. Unless you want a very specific school, that makes the whole thing much easier. Wanting a specifc school makes homefinding a nightmare, and eventually the school impossible.
Often: ID/passport, birth certificate, proof of address, and health/vaccination proof (measles proof is commonly required). Requirements can vary by state/city.
Some schools offer additional language support (e.g., integration/“welcome” classes), but availability and quality vary by the teacher. The better the German skills of your child before it is coming, the better. And remember, your child will learn fastest when emerging into a German speaking environment.
Public schools are generally free, while private/international schools charge fees; the right choice depends on your timeline, language needs, and how long you’ll stay.
Yes. Each package includes one accompaniment. Additional accompaniments can be booked for 250 EUR.
Many cities use municipal online portals or require coordination via the Jugendamt (youth welfare office). Waiting lists are common, and the process is local.
No. Education and childcare are organized by federal states and municipalities, so rules, portals, and timelines differ by city.
No. The second child will come for the same price as we will be looking for one kindergarten or school where both can be enrolled together.
Only if you have two teenagers around 15 years old or older you need to book two packages. Because they will most unlikely do the exact same thing and need an individual approach.
Yes—eligibility and application depend on residence/status, and applications typically require tax IDs and documentation (e.g., birth certificate).
We also support applying for the so-called couple taxation which will result in a cashflow advantage of mostly more than €500 per month.
No. These programs are specifically for crafted for private individuals who are not, or not sufficiently, supported by their new German employer.
