Psychoeducator


Explanation:
From what I understand it is a special sort of interdisciplinary psychoeducator/entertainer who uses creative and artistic methods to engage and educate young children according to their stage of development. Animatore in Italian usually has the idea of "entertainer" especially where children are involved.
