Giving Treasure Valley children a strong start in school and life through affordable child care and early education.

For over 35 years, Giraffe Laugh has been a trusted nonprofit in the Treasure Valley, providing affordable childcare and high-quality early education to up to 340 children each year.

Rooted in school readiness, family empowerment, and building strong futures, our mission reaches beyond early childhood, helping to break generational cycles of poverty and uplift entire families.

"I can’t recommend Giraffe Laugh enough! As a SAHM, I wanted a preschool that felt more like a learning environment than a daycare, and Giraffe Laugh exceeded my expectations."

Brittany B., Boise Parent

"My babies love it here and Giraffe Laugh has made being a single mother not seem so hard. They love my kids and they get treated very well, I couldn't be happier. "

– Arianna F., Boise Parent

At Giraffe Laugh, every child gets 3 healthy meals and snacks each day to keep them full, focused, and ready to learn. Our community food pantry is available for everyone who needs extra support because helping families thrive goes beyond the classroom.

Our Programs

Giraffe Laugh offers early care and education through three full-time centers serving children ages 0–5 year-round, one preschool-only site for ages 3.5–5 during the school year, and a summer program for children through 2nd grade.

Each day, we provide nurturing, high-quality learning experiences for children across the Treasure Valley. As interest in our programs continues to grow, we’re expanding to reach more families—because every child deserves a strong start.

We envision a community where all children have equal access to early education, care, and opportunity.
