Dare to Dream: Empowering Families

DARE TO DREAM

Parents and guardians are the most important people in a child’s life. Parenting is not easy, and when adults in a family feel connected and supported, they are empowered to strengthen their family. When we enroll a child, we enroll a family. Giraffe Laugh dares to empower families.

1,800+ children in Idaho are reported neglected or abused each year.

Giraffe Laugh provided my family with stability. When our daughter was born, our son had been at Giraffe Laugh for almost three years. With the consistency, love and support from Giraffe Laugh our son never missed a beat. He is the best big brother and we knew that day in and day out he was getting the stability he needed from his teachers and the staff at Giraffe Laugh. When it came time to send our daughter to Giraffe Laugh, we were able to drop her off knowing that she would be loved and taken care of the same way our son has for the past three years. Watching the knowledge my son has gained over the past three years makes me excited for what is to come, and I can’t wait to see the strides our daughter will make.
