Assistant Site Director at Giraffe Laugh on State Street

Hello, my name is Jacqueline Galligan. I was born in California but was raised here in Idaho. In 2017, I graduated from the University of Idaho with a Child Development/Family Relation degree. Soon after college, I married my best friend Jason Galligan and he has been nothing but loving and supportive. I have loved working with children since I was a young girl. I am the lead teacher of preschool and Assistant Site Director at Giraffe Laugh 4. Working with children has been amazing it has taught me so many things about the way they learn and develop as they grow. Most important to me though, is the smile they bring to class every day. I’ve been at Giraffe Laugh for about two years. I am grateful for pursuing what I enjoy, and hope for many years on this fun early-educational journey.
