Family relocation concierge for Arabic-speaking families
Helping Arabic-speaking families settle into Madrid.
Personal, hands-on help with the parts of a move that matter most to your family: the right school, the right neighborhood, healthcare, and daily life that makes sense. Everything explained in your language, by someone who knows Madrid.
Free 30-minute intro call. You'll leave knowing which kind of support fits your family.
The order a family move happens in
Before you arrive
School shortlist that matches your child's curriculum. Documents in order. Neighborhood preferences.
First week
Keys, phone, and the town hall registration that unlocks everything else.
First month
School routine, health center, one activity your child enjoys.
First 90 days
Friends, routines, a neighborhood that feels like yours.
The move is only the beginning.
School meetings you can't fully follow
No doctor who speaks your language
Every decision depends on another
What we help with
Practical, personal guidance across the parts of daily life that matter most to a family. We explain, translate, accompany and follow up, so you're never guessing.
See how this is packagedSchool match, applications and daily-life liaison
Finding schools that fit your child's curriculum and your family's values, coordinating tours, translating requirements, and handling everyday school messages.
Neighborhood guidance
Choosing an area around school commutes, work, budget and the kind of daily life you want. School first, then home.
Healthcare navigation
Finding English- or Arabic-speaking doctors and pediatricians, and coming with you to appointments when it helps.
Activities and enrichment
Registering children with trusted clubs, from football academies and padel to riding, music and the arts.
Heritage language and roots
Connecting families with trusted tutors so children keep their home language and culture while they settle in.
Also included where it helps: ideas for family outings, weekends and holidays around Madrid and Spain.
After you settle: an optional 3-month on-call retainer. Forward a confusing message and we'll handle the reply.
Clear about what we do, and what we don't.
We're a family concierge, not a relocation, legal or immigration agency. Knowing the difference saves you time and money.
We handle
- School match and applications
- School and daily-life liaison
- Neighborhood guidance
- Healthcare navigation
- Activities and heritage-language tutoring
We don't handle
- Visa and immigration paperwork
- Legal documentation

For these, you'll need an immigration lawyer, an administrative agency or a moving company.
