DESIGNED FOR CHILDHOOD. MADE FOR MOTHERHOOD.Â
How I Got Here
Jessica DeNotta, M.Ed | Early Parenting Specialist /Â Founder of Childhood by Design
At work, my classroom ran like a well-oiled machine, and I knew those same principles could work at home. When I found myself solo parenting four kids Monday through Friday, I applied my child development background to build systems that actually worked: predictable rhythms, independent play, and sleep that stuck. My kids thrived, and I finally had the time and calm I needed. Now I help overwhelmed mothers do the same.
How Childhood by Design Can HelpÂ
Sleep CoachingÂ
Evidence-based methods for babies and toddlers (0-5) so you can finally sleep again.
Play Spaces
Environments designed for independent play so your kids thrive and you get time back.
Rhythms & Routines
Daily structure that reduces meltdowns and gives you breathing room.
As a mom of three, I completely lost control of our play areas after having my third baby and dealing with some health issues. I booked a virtual consultation with Jessica to help me purge, donate, and organize my kids’ toys — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for our family.
Jessica was professional yet so friendly and approachable. She made the process feel supportive rather than overwhelming. By the end, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted — truly 50 pounds lighter. I didn’t realize how much of my mental energy had been spent managing the chaos and constantly trying to mediate between two bored kids surrounded by toys but unsure where to start.
Now, the difference in our home is incredible. I’ve regained control and my kids are actually engaging with their toys again instead of just begging to turn on the TV. They’re calmer, more creative, and are playing so much more cooperatively together.
I can’t recommend this service highly enough — it brought order, calm, and joy back into our home.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend Jessica to any friend looking to transform a space in their home. She truly made a huge impact on how we use and enjoy this room now! It feels like my house has gotten bigger and I can't even imagine us playing without it. I genuinely think my children will enjoy a more creative life thanks to the effort that Jessica put into making this space so inviting and fun!

Our work is grounded in educational principles and real developmental needs, always. You're getting systems backed by how kids actually grow, not guesswork or trends.

What's Good for Moms Is Good for Kids
Â
A mother's needs and a child's needs aren't in conflict. When kids have rhythms that help them grow, moms get the breathing room to thrive—and both benefit.
