Welcome to Kids Activities Studio.

If you’re here, I’m guessing you know exactly how it feels to stand in the middle of a messy living room, holding a cup of cold coffee, wondering if you’re doing "enough" for your child’s development.

I see you. And I’ve been there.

My name is Diria, and I created this space for parents who want the benefits of Montessori and early education without the stress of perfection.

The Educator & The Parent

I’ve had the privilege of standing on both sides of the classroom door.

As an Educator, I’ve spent years studying the science of how children learn, the magic of sensitive periods, and the profound impact of a prepared environment. I know the theory inside and out.

But it wasn't until I became a Parent that I truly understood the "beautiful chaos" of putting those theories into practice. I realized that knowing the science is one thing, but applying it when you have laundry piling up and a toddler melting down is completely different.

Kids Activities Studio was born at the intersection of my professional expertise and my daily life as a parent.

My Philosophy: Montessori Without the Pressure

Many people think Montessori is about expensive wooden toys and perfectly curated "Instagrammable" rooms. But to me, Montessori is a tool for freedom and connection, not a checklist of things to buy.

I don’t believe in perfection. I believe in:

  • Practical Independence: Setting up your home so your child can pour their own water (even if a little spills).
  • Low-Prep, High-Impact Play: Creating learning moments that take 5 minutes to set up but provide 30 minutes of deep focus.
  • Respecting the Pace: Letting go of the "milestone anxiety" and following your unique child.

Why I’m Here to Help You


I created this space to simplify your parenting journey. Think of me as your "Practical Expert" friend—the one who shares the cheat codes to parenting.

Whether you’re looking for research-backed sensory guides or ready-to-use printables that actually foster independent skills, my goal is to give you the tools you need to feel confident as your child's first teacher.

Here is what you can expect from the Studio:


Tested Tips & Tricks: Real strategies to handle transitions, tantrums, and play.

Educator-Grade Resources: Activities that actually build skills (not just keep them busy).

Zero Judgement: Because we are all just figuring this out, one day at a time.

You don't need a degree in education or a huge budget to raise a curious, capable human. You just need a little bit of intentionality and the right resources.

I'm so honored to be part of your family’s journey. Let’s make learning happen, one messy (but purposeful) moment at a time.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey!



Warmly,

Diria, 
Educator, Parent and Founder, Kids Activities Studio

Read the Full Privacy Policy here . Setting the stage for a busy morning. These colorful materials are always a hit for open-ended play. Let’s be real for a second. The first time I fell down the "Montessori" rabbit hole on Pinterest, I felt totally overwhelmed. I saw these perfectly tidy rooms, thousands of dollars worth of beige wooden toys, and kids who seemed to never throw tantrums. I remember thinking, "There is no way I can do this. My house is a mess, my budget is tight, and I definitely don’t have a degree in early childhood education!" But here’s the secret I wish someone had told me back then: Montessori isn't about the "stuff". It’s not about expensive furniture or having a picture-perfect nursery. It’s a philosophy—a way of seeing our children as capable, independen...

If you’ve spent any time on social media looking at Montessori bedrooms, you’ve probably seen the $1,000 floor beds, custom wardrobes, and perfectly curated wooden decor. While beautiful, that level of "aesthetic" isn’t realistic for most families. Here is the good news: Montessori is a philosophy, not a brand. You don't need a massive budget to create a space that fosters independence, confidence, and a love for learning. By following a few core principles: order, child-sized accessibility, and low stimulation—you can create a functional, beautiful sanctuary for your child without breaking the bank.
