📝Applications for the summer session of one-on-one tutoring and speech open tomorrow!

At GiGi’s Playhouse, all programs are offered completely free of charge to families—but that doesn’t mean they’re free for us to provide. While “free” is sometimes associated with lower quality, that couldn’t be further from the truth at GiGi’s.

Take our Amina Grace Speech & Language Program, for example. It’s led by a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, ensuring expert oversight and high standards. All of our volunteer literacy and math tutors complete 6–7 hours of required training through our virtual GiGi’s Training Platform, a robust Learning Management System (LMS) designed to prepare them for success.
