Childcare in Germany?

Hi,I am not Canadian, but I was hoping that someone could help me out. I am getting ready to move to Germany, in the Baden Wurttemberg area and I have heard that childcare is very expensive. My daughter is 2 years old and I heard she will not be able to go the regular daycare or pre-school yet. I have to go to work and my husband will not join me til later on, what do I do. Babysitting is also very expensive I hear. What can I do. Please if anyone has an answer please, write me . Thank you so much.

money is not so much the problem but getting into a kindergarten. it very much depends on which city you are going to. you need to get in touch with the city administration or look up kindergartens in directories. otherwise you can try to get a "tagesmutter", the city would also supply addresses of such mothers, who take in one or two kids to take care of. not very expensive.
