Early Childhood Specialist, Cognitive Scientist & Founder of Simply Our Child<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”566796″]<\/p>\n

Hello! I am Sara.<\/p>\n

I founded Simply Our Child<\/b> in 2022 to solve a problem I saw firsthand: international families relocating to Italy and Italian expat families living abroad lacked cohesive, culturally aware, and scientifically backed educational support.<\/p>\n

My work sits at the intersection of human development, language acquisition, and cognitive science<\/b>. I believe that when we understand how<\/i> a child\u2019s brain processes the world, we can parent with greater empathy, clarity, and success.<\/p>\n

My Background & Expertise<\/h2>\n

I bring a rigorous academic foundation and a decade of hands-on classroom experience to our consultations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Academic Foundations:<\/b> I hold a Master\u2019s Degree in Cognitive Sciences<\/b> (University of Milan), a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Early Childhood Education<\/b> (Niccol\u00f2 Cusano University), and a Bachelor’s Degree in Education<\/b> (University of Bologna).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Specialized Training:<\/b> I am a certified English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher for children using the sensory-rich Hocus & Lotus<\/i> method.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Diverse Educational Roles:<\/b> Alongside my private consultancy, I work as an Academic Coach at Crimson Global Academy<\/b>, guiding high-achieving international students toward ambitious academic goals. I also work as an AI Trainer<\/b>, training and refining advanced linguistic models in Italian and educational pedagogy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Special Educational Needs (SEN):<\/b> My years working as a specialized SEN teacher and early childhood educator mean I excel at designing customized learning tracks for neurodivergent learners and children with unique developmental needs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    My Philosophy: Child-Centered & Sustainable<\/h2>\n

    I do not believe in rigid, “one-size-fits-all” parenting books. Your family dynamics, your cultural background, and your child\u2019s temperament dictate our strategy. By blending the structured focus of an academic coach<\/b> with the deep empathy of a child development specialist<\/b>, I help you build a peaceful, connected, and bilingual home life.<\/p>\n
