Luke DS Month

My favorite memory of GiGi’s is watching Luke walk in the front door for the first time. The teacher in me wanted a physical space to go to, for our families to go to, that we could call our own. I wanted a safe, warm and comforting space to gain confidence in, to nurture friendships in, and to support our children in. That is exactly what the Playhouse is. It offers our families a second home to go to. It’s like nothing other, and it’s something I will always cherish. 

-Diane, Luke’s Mom
