About Thistle & Rabbit

Thistle & Rabbit offers a cozy, home-based early childhood program serving children ages 0-6 years in and around Carlsbad, California. Rooted in the Reggio Emilia Approach, we value the magic of open-ended materials and child-led activities through an emergent curriculum. Our days are calm and play-based, shaped by the children’s natural curiosity and enveloped with music and art.

Why play-based learning?

In addition to our child care program, we offer private music and voice lessons through our sister program Bramble & Bloom

Some updated classroom space! As the children grow and new friends come in, our main classroom space tends to change and reflect the interests of each of the children. Right now I am working on a full virtual tour which will be on my website and I&rs
