Simply Our Child is a community, both in-person and online, of Italian families who want their children to speak English, international families looking to integrate into the local Italian context, and Italian expats all over the world.
Ours is a social impact project; by choosing us, you will help other people receive assistance and build a better world, with more support for new families and international families arriving in Italy for the first time.
We offer free weekly services for new moms and moms in English, where they can make friends, share the joys and frustrations of motherhood, and discuss with sector specialists.
In Milan, we organize English-language activities for families and children on weekends to have fun together and create a network of Italian families who speak English or would like to, as well as international families.
We also offer one-on-one consultations for those who want to improve the quality of their relationship with their children and enhance their parenting skills, including gentle sleep consultations without tears, consultations to develop English or any other minority language in the family, parenting support, and assistance in choosing bilingual and international schools.
Come and meet us at our events or contact me privately if you feel aligned with this project.

“Best resource in Milano
Sara from Simply Our Child is very knowledgeable, professional, and caring human being. Her consultations have been very helpful and insightful.

“On November and December 2022 my children and I attended the English playgroup on Monday mornings. It has been a special moment for us of fun and learning and my children enjoy it a lot! Sara is a special person who has the sensibility to connect with children, support their needs and involve them in the activities.”

“We relocated to Italy in January 2020 after spending 6 years overseas.
Despite I came back to my country I had to settle in (in a town I did not know) and get used to the habits here again. After 4 weeks the long lockdown started. Instead of returning to work full-time and taking some time for myself, I found myself at home with three kids under 8, no school, no friends, and no outdoor play.
Confusion, frustration, tiredness and depression were my dail feeling.
Sara has been an incredible resource for me.
Her empathy, understanding and positivism turned one of the most negative times of my life into a peaceful moment. I relocated many times.
It is never easy, but there are times harder than others and we risk losing its magic side. I recommend not being afraid to ask for help and counting on Sara to find the support you need!”

“Simply Our Child is a social initiative that brings big value into my life and the development of my son.
On weekly bases I get to meet parents and children with unique experiences from all over the world. We teach our kids communication skills and give each other support that is so crucial in the first years of parenthood.
Most important, this initiative offers help to the foreigners who have just moved to the country and are feeling lost and lonely.
I have lived in Bangkok and Stockholm in the last 7 years. And was lucky to be part of international playgroups in both cities. Realizing after our new move that Milan doesn’t offer similar experience, initially made me feel lost and scared. But luckily Simply our child reached out when it was most needed.
That is why it is such a pleasure to be part of this group. And feel that it is created with care, patience and goodwill. I hope that it will receive the recognition it deserves. And will help not only me but many more parents.”

“Simply Our Child is a wonderful service born out of need to support mothers, children, and entire families in their journey together. The emphasis on “every child is different, every family is different” is what truly resonates with me. We are often judged as women, as mothers, as wives, so to find a safe space such as Simply Our Child is refreshing and much needed in our society. In addition, Sara is a very warm and caring person. She easily connects with children and parents alike without any judgement. Her professional expertise as well as her high level of compassion, makes Sara a wonderful counselor and a brilliant professional.”

“..There’s also Sara Righetti in this group who has been a great help to me. It’s always made me feel better to understand how their little brains work in language acquisition at each stage, the school system here in Italy, and all that I can do at home to help her. I feel good knowing I’m doing my best for her.”
