Gan West Preschool, Culver City

Gan West Preschool is committed to providing a loving, nurturing and stimulating environment for young children and their inquisitive minds. Our belief is that children learn best through play. Our program provides a safe environment in which young children can grow through play and hands-on exploration. Children are given many opportunities for experimentation and involvement including cooking, science, creative arts, music and movement, and sports. Following NAEYC guidelines, we provide a nurturing, high quality program, where each child is given the opportunity to grow physically, cognitively socially, emotionally, and creatively. Our program weaves Jewish values and traditions seamlessly, through music, Holiday celebrations, weekly Shabbat party, and daily good deeds such as charity and kindness to one another. We believe that each child has a unique set of interests, abilities, and styles of learning. Our goal is to create a program that can respond to those individual differences; enjoy and celebrate those differences. Parents are an integral part of the educational process. In recognition of this important role, parent involvement is encouraged and welcomed. Families and teachers are brought together in the spirit of teaching our children the value of cooperation, respect, and responsibility. The classes are kept small and the staff-student ratio low, ensuring special attention for each child.
