Mission Statement
The GiGi’s Playhouse mission is to change the way the world views Down syndrome and send a global message of acceptance for all. With 59 brick and mortar locations across North America and Mexico, we are profoundly changing lives through FREE, educational and therapeutic-based programs for individuals of all ages, their families, and the community.
Description
GiGi’s Playhouse Charlotte is a part of an international network of 59+ brick-and-mortar Down Syndrome Achievement Centers in the world, and it is growing. We have built a replicable model that includes standardized programming, operational, technical and strategic tools and resources, all delivered from our headquarters. Our growth comes from adding new locations and new programs every year, but also through the growth of new families.
GiGi’s Playhouse Charlotte offers programs that serve the unique needs of individuals of all ages with Down syndrome, all at zero cost to families. We help participants thrive through signature programming which includes: speech and language development, social-emotional development, fine and gross motor development, academic support, health and wellness, and career skills. Programs are purposeful and progressive, celebrating meaningful gains rather than developmental milestones, which often come later or in a different order for children and adults with Down syndrome. In addition, GiGi's Playhouse has been working hard to change perceptions of the Down syndrome community.
