Who We Are
GiGi’s Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Center’s mission is to change the way the world views Down syndrome through national campaigns, educational programs, and by empowering individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community. We offer free therapeutic and educational programming to individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
What We Do
With over 60 Community locations across the United States and Mexico and 200 inquiries to start new locations all over the world, GiGi’s Playhouse is the ONLY network of Down Syndrome Achievement Centers. Every day, we provide FREE, life-changing therapeutic, educational, and career training programs for 30,000+ individuals of all ages. We provide virtual services to 77 countries.
Down syndrome is the largest chromosomal abnormality in our country and yet, it is the least funded. From a prenatal diagnosis to career skills, we make a lifetime commitment to remain by their side. Families are empowered with all the tools their child needs to succeed!
Through free programs and through our Generation G Campaign for global acceptance, we EMPOWER families by maximizing opportunities for daily achievement and lasting acceptance. To ensure lasting acceptance, we must show the world what individuals with Down syndrome are truly capable of achieving as students, co-workers, volunteers, friends, and valued members of their communities. Our program outcomes help advance this vital social impact goal.
We are a Down syndrome achievement center. We provide programs and services from prenatal diagnosis thru adulthood. We offer purposeful, evidence-based learning opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community. We provide free purposeful therapeutic and educational programs such as GiGiFIT for all ages, LMNOP for ages 0-4, Teen Tastic for ages 13-17, Fantastic Friends for ages 18+, Destination Discovery for all ages and One-on-One Literacy and Math tutoring.
