🧪✨ New Program Alert at GiGi’s Playhouse Rochester ✨🧪

We are so excited to introduce STEM Lab Kids this summer at the Playhouse! 🌟 Join us on Tuesdays at 5 PM for a fun, hands-on program designed for kids ages 8–12 to explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and math.

This exciting new program helps participants build confidence while growing important developmental skills through interactive experiments, creative challenges, and problem-solving activities. 🔬⚙️💡

STEM Lab Kids encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and learning in a fun and supportive environment where individuals can explore STEM concepts while making new friends and discovering just how much they can do. 💙

Yesterday, we were so excited to welcome our last group of students from Mercy School for Young Children for the school year, this time our 6th graders! It was extra special because one of the students is a member of our very own youth board and was so excited to show her classmates what GiGi’s Playhouse Rochester is all about.

The students spent the morning helping us clean around the Playhouse, and their hard work was such a huge help. We always love having Mercy visit throughout the school year. Their kindness, energy, and willingness to lend a hand make such a difference. Thank you for spending the morning with us and for being part of our GiGi’s family!

Changing perceptions... one word at a time.​

When Jade began reading through GiGi’s 1:1 Literacy Tutoring Program, everything changed. Her teacher saw her abilities, and that sparked a ripple effect. Teachers, classmates, everyone — they began to see Jade's true potential and accept her for who she is.​

That's the impact of our 1:1 tutoring programs. In addition to teaching essential skills, they open minds, helping people see the true potential of individuals with Down syndrome.​

There's still time to enroll in the summer session for our 1:1 Literacy and Math Tutoring Program. Learn more: https://gigisplayhouse.tfaforms.net/4719675?utm_source=hootsuite&utm_term=facebook&utm_content=243207f9-2995-4f57-a891-733441987a4c&utm_campaign=summer1to1&utm_medium=Social
