Mini services
The Playroom Edit | 199
We believe play is a child’s most important work. Through meaningful play, children develop motor and cognitive skills, strengthen problem-solving abilities, and build intrinsic motivation.
Our Playroom Edit teaches you how to transform your child’s space into one that supports focus, creativity, and independence. We partner with families to reduce toy overwhelm and create an environment that invites deeper, more purposeful play. You’ll receive thoughtful organizational guidance along with coaching on incorporating age-appropriate, open-ended toys, implementing toy rotation, designing intentional shelf layouts, and using visual cues that support easy cleanup.
The result is an actionable strategy for creating a calm, functional play space where your child can thrive, and where you can enjoy a little more breathing room.

Meet Holly Merullo and Kelly Marques —
Co-Founders of Curated Calm
We're twin sisters, moms to young children, and lifelong believers in the power of a peaceful, nurturing home. Our passion for nurturing children runs deep, rooted in our mother’s 30-year career in early childhood education. Influenced by our upbringing, we both began our own careers in early childcare centers, while pursuing degrees in Elementary Education and Psychology, respectively. We have carried our passions for teaching, guiding, and coaching into our careers- Holly as a certified PreK through Grade 6 teacher, and Kelly as a Change Manager at a global management consulting firm.
Curated Calm blends our two passions: thoughtful home design, and early childhood best practices. We believe a well-designed home, paired with simple, sustainable routines, can have a powerful impact on a child’s growth, development, and emotion regulation - and on the entire family’s well-being and happiness. Curated Calm aims to bring a greater sense of peace to family life, so the beauty of the early childhood years can be appreciated and enjoyed to their fullest extent.
Through practical strategies, systems, and home design solutions, we are here to help you create a home where you and your children can thrive.
We can’t wait to meet you!
