Child care here is around 250€/month with reduced cost for each kid beyond the first in daycare. Pre-school (Age 6->) is free as is school + school lunches.

Compared to what, a few thousand a month PER CHILD in the US?

Also birth and all pre-natal care etc. is practically free (tens of euros per visit max).

Right, but the difference in take home pay in the US is almost 3x those costs. So you can pay for it all in the US and still come out ahead.

Then we just need to add the amount of monthly insurance costs and it's about even again :)
