It is no secret. Denmark is a great place to be a kid. And it is a great place to be a parent.

My name is Chava Sanderson. I moved to Denmark with my Danish husband in 2008, and my parenting journey started about 10 years ago. Not only did I suddenly need to figure out how to take care of our new little family member, I also quickly realized that I knew nothing about raising a child in Denmark. Over the past 10 years, I have learned a lot about giving birth in Denmark, maternity leave, the Danish childcare system, and the Danish school system. I started New Kids in Denmark to provide the help to international families that I wish I had access to when I started my own journey in Denmark.
