Our son has had a wonderful preschool experience at 4 The Love of Learning. Beth Sidel is an engaged, caring and attentive teacher who is focused on the individual needs and wellbeing of the children in her care. Her education, experience and expertise in engaging preschool children are demonstrated though the curriculum and organized educational activities offered throughout the school day. Our son has been engaged as an active participant in the learning process which has resulted in a child that loves to learn and loves to go to school. Additionally, the healthy and positive relationships with peers he has established, kindergarten readiness skills he has attained and heart-felt love and attention that he has received from Beth Sidel in the last 2 years has given him the foundation for success in kindergarten and beyond. I highly recommend 4 The Love of Learning Preschool.

A cozy learning space with individualized attention for your preschool aged child. I would highly recommend this program. I am a former co-teacher of the owner/teacher, who has 18 years experience and her Master's Degree in Education. Some of the benefits of attending this preschool are a structured curriculum and play-based learning to prepare your child for Kindergarten, organic meals, and a beautiful "woodsy" playground. Located less ten minutes from Greenfield.

We have had a wonderful experience with Beth at 4 The Love of Learning. Beth is a thoughtful and creative teacher who creates opportunities for kids to make discoveries in their own ways. Our son loves preschool! It has been wonderful to see his curiosity and problem solving abilities grow. We appreciate the school's commitment to outside play as much as possible. Beth was a wonderful resource and support through potty training (our son struggled). She truly partnered with our family through that obstacle and continues to each day. Beth is an early childhood expert and is a great resource for information. Finally, the art shows and other family events held at the school are very well planned and enjoyable. We highly recommend 4 The Love of Learning!

I have been working with Beth for almost two years providing language support in her classroom. Beth is a dedicated teacher who recognizes opportunities for natural learning and supports her students' independence. As a parent myself, I value the way she prioritizes outdoor play, access to open-ended toys and materials, and empowering even very young children to feel capable. Her outdoor and indoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to invite creative thinking, collaboration and pretend play - the building blocks of learning and development!

4 The Love of Learning is a high quality preschool program. Beth creates a warm, nurturing, learning environment for the children she works with. My daughter Eva attended her program and really loved her experience. Beth is an exceptional educator who made my child feel valued, loved, and cared for each and every day.
Some of the many wonderful aspects of her program include circle time, structured outdoor play, and teaching personal independence. In addition, Beth shares her passion for art with her students. She puts on an incredible art show that showcases her student’s masterpieces by unlocking their artistic talent through many mediums. You can see the pride and pure joy that went into each unique piece.
My daughter is now in third grade and still talks about Beth and the wonderful memories she has of her time at 4 The Love of Learning. Years later, she still has such a positive relationship and connection with Beth. On half days of school, my daughter attends her program and it makes me feel comforted knowing she is in a safe, loving environment. It warms my heart to see how eager Eva is to be able to have that time with her prior preschool teacher.
The skills my daughter learned while attending her program set her up for social and emotional success, with a solid academic foundation to continue to learn and grow.
