Jennifer Girou
Admiral Preschool Teacher
A Bit About Me
Teacher Jennifer is from the Midwest, where she attended the University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse, graduating with a B.S in Biology. Life moved her to the East Coast where she was a professional nanny for over 10 years. She moved to the Northwest in 2008 and resides in West Seattle with her husband, two sons (Admiral Co op Alums!) and two dogs. Jennifer heard about co-op preschool from a neighbor and fell in love with the community feel of the classrooms. She has been teaching at Admiral since 2017. You will find Teacher Jennifer engaging her students in creative play, fostering friendship skills and learning about emotions. She incorporates daily neighborhood walks and nature activities in her classroom curriculum.
