GiGi's Playhouse Deerfield relies on the skill and dedication of volunteers of different expertise to keep our programs vibrant, educational, fun, and free. If you have a skill, we have a place for you!

Meet Deena! You may not see her around much, but Deena has played a crucial role behind the scenes at GiGi’s Deerfield for 3 years now! Deena can be found helping with important administrative tasks like organizing and putting together program binders, and she's the laminating queen! We are beyond thankful for every hour Deena spends at the playhouse and love seeing her smiling face here on Mondays! When she’s not at the playhouse, you can catch her with a crochet hook in her hands, making the most adorable creations!

It’s another program-packed week at GiGi’s Playhouse Deerfield! 🎉 Did you know all of our programs are thoughtfully designed to support development at every stage? For example: GiGiFIT is inspired by physical therapy and tailored to each age group and the needs of individuals with Down syndrome; GiGi’s Kitchen builds healthy habits, independence, and social skills; and LMNOP helps little ones learn basic sign, communication skills and get ready for preschool with confidence! Where will we see you this week?

Being a caregiver to someone with Down syndrome is a journey filled with love, strength, and challenges, and it’s something worth celebrating 🤍

This week, we had the chance to pause, breathe, and connect with people who truly get it. Judith and her family have been part of our playhouse community for nearly a year, and it meant so much to see her step in and prioritize herself, even if only for a moment, during our Sound Bath on Sunday.

We know how hard it can be to slow down and choose rest amid everyday responsibilities, which is why we’re so proud of Judith for taking that time.

Meet Sue! Our GiGi’s Kitchen superstar who has been cooking up smiles with us for almost two years. She came looking for a meaningful, creative place to volunteer and found everything 😉 especially a community where everyone is seen as an individual, not a diagnosis, and where GiGi’s Kitchen feels more like dinner with friends.

When she’s not at the playhouse, Sue is a realtor, an all-around volunteer, and someone who’s always finding time to hang out with friends. We’re so lucky to have her!

Best of All: Elowyn Taylor 🌟

Elowyn first walked through our Playhouse doors before she was even 6 months old! Getting to watch her blossom into the strong, smart and sweet little girl she is today is exactly why we do what we do. 💗

During a recent LMNOP Elowyn was all smiles playing with her friends and rocking the motions right alongside Ms. Jill! Seeing our participants grow, learn new songs, and build confidence with routines week after week is pure magic.

We are SO proud of you, Elowyn! 💕

GiGiMOVE 🥋 Jiu Jitsu brings movement, confidence, and lots of fun to the mat for participants ages 5 and up. Led by Edson, a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this program introduces the basics of jiu jitsu in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Participants build strength, balance, coordination, and self control while learning cool new skills and working together. Beyond the physical benefits, GiGiMOVE Jiu Jitsu helps boost confidence, encourages social connection, and reminds everyone that movement should be fun.

Come roll, learn, and grow with us on the mat this Saturday, January 17th at 10 am!💙 https://ow.ly/3phW50XW5fK
