About
Us… When I finally went home and started living this ‘new life', I realized it wasn't much different than my old life! GiGi was more like my other kids than she was different. She needed some extra help with things but that little bit of help that we give her is nothing compared to what she gives to us everyday. That is when
I decided to open GiGi's Playhouse and show the world the tremendous potential
in kids with Down syndrome. When I started the first one I never dreamed
we would have five of them in 5 years! On the pages of this website you
can read about the incredible ways awareness and education are being spread
at each location - all over the nation! |

Playhouse
Information GiGi's Playhouse centers evolved into educational centers with a focus on National awareness for Down syndrome. All of our programs are free to our families and are therapeutic in nature. Each of them are designed to work on specific skill development in several areas including speech and language, social development, and fine and gross motor skills. Our literacy program alone teaches thousands of kids with Down syndrome to read around the nation! The newest awareness project is our "i have a voice" campaign which seeks to change outdated perceptions and replace those images with beautiful, thought provoking, intelligent images. In just 5
years, 5 Playhouses have opened! There are GiGi's Playhouses opening on
the West coast, East coast and more in the Midwest! GiGi's is committed
to the important mission of spreading positive and accurate information
about Down syndrome through education. We know that by helping individuals
with Down syndrome reach their highest potential, we can change outdated
perceptions that people may have. The end result is a world that is empowered
with knowledge, compassion, and inspiration - what a better place for
all of us!
