I have a 4.5 year old son and 18month old daughter who doesn't nap. Including hubby, the 4 of us live in a 900 sq.ft. 2-bedroom apartment with lots of closet space, but no additional storage (e.g. basement storage). Obviously, we don't have the space to have a dedicated homeschool area.
We all sleep in the smaller bedroom and the other bedroom has been the "toy room" until now. I've converted it to be a learning space as well as a toy room. The big table is meant to be DS's workspace, but sometimes DD does her work there too.
Previously, DS had gone to Montessori, but ultimately had a bad experience. Still, I'm incorporating some elements of it (e.g. the 3-part cards you see, and some of the math manipulatives I know he liked). We don't really have the space for everything to be beautifully displayed. The cube containers generally hold learning toys (puzzles, magnetic ABCs, etc.), but I'm not acting like everything they do has to be a learning activity.
For other learning activities that might change more often, like the 3-part cards, Montessori bead chains, or the little activities I plan for DD, I'm using the concept of activity bags, placing everything in large plastic bags. I can then easily swap out activities. Don't yet have a good container for those, though.
