What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

Gan West has been an incredible home away from home for our toddler. The intimate space is filled with so much love and peace, and we have the most confidence and peace of mind knowing our little one is attended to with so much care.
Cassie AdatoJun 17, 2026Grateful to Gan West for the experience my children had. Very loving teachers and wonderful families.
Dr. Deborah FeinJun 17, 2026There is no better Gan in Los Angeles. They have a curriculum and give you weekly updates which I look forward to every week. The teachers are so caring and each child gets the attention they deserve. I moved out of the area but I still make an hour drive everyday because I’m truly so happy there it makes it all worth it.
Sam & Tal KhanianJun 17, 2026I would give Gan West 10 stars if I could! What an incredible experience it has been. From the moment our child started at Gan West, he was surrounded by love, support, and dedicated teachers who truly cared about helping every child thrive. The growth we have seen over the years has been remarkable. His communication skills, social development, fine motor skills, confidence, and overall learning flourished thanks to the attention, patience, and encouragement of the wonderful teachers. We are especially grateful for the meaningful way Jewish traditions are woven into everyday learning, allowing children to develop a genuine connection to their heritage. We also loved the beautiful outdoor space and garden, where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and develop a respect for nature and all living things. Those lessons extend well beyond the classroom and into everyday life. One of our favorite traditions began at Gan West—Friday challah baking. What started as a classroom activity became a cherished family tradition in our home. Moments like these are what make Gan West so special. Beyond the incredible education and care, our family also made wonderful friends at Gan West. The connections we built with other families have been such a meaningful part of our experience, and we are grateful that many of us will be moving on to the next chapter together. We will always be grateful for the love, care, and foundation Gan West provided during these important early years. It is truly a special place, and we could not recommend it more highly.
Katerina BakhtaJun 17, 2026Gan West is truly a hidden gem! The curriculum is carefully crafted and applied with excellence by a highly trained, caring and thoughtful staff. We felt our son was nurtured to grow and change, both emotionally and academically, in ways that we couldn’t imagine it was possible. The attention to detail in this school is off the charts! When my son faced struggles, the school offered support In order to resolve them quickly and effectively working together as a team. Thank you to Gan West and all its staff for the incredible experience we all had together.
ValeriaJun 14, 2026It's hard to find the right words to express what Gan West has meant to our child and our family. It's like a hidden garden in the heart of the city, a place where everything blooms. The children are cared for with warmth, kindness, and so much joy. Each day is filled with music, laughter, and playful discovery. We feel truly grateful to be part of such a nurturing and inspiring community.
