New Family Alert! Welcome!!

Help us welcome one of our newest additions to the GiGi’s Playhouse Canton family – participant Zoë (5), her parents Steven and Aidelni, and her sisters Stephanie and Natalia!

Zoë’s parents shared they previously lived in Arizona and occasionally participated in our free, purposeful programming at GiGis Playhouse Phoenix, but it was still a 45 minute drive from where they used to live. When moving to Ohio, Zoë’s family deliberately sought out a home close to GiGi’s Playhouse Canton so they can become more regularly involved. Regarding our World Down Syndrome Day dance party, Zoë’s dad shared,

“Thank you so much for hosting the event last night. It was wonderful to see all of the families and kids to adults just having such a great time. Zoë loved every minute of it and my wife said that when they first arrived to the site, Zoë screamed “Yeah!” because she already has such good memories from her first two experiences. We cannot wait to get better connected and be a better advocate for the community.”

We are so excited to have you as part of the Playhouse family and can’t wait to see more of you!

Zoë’s family even created a team for our GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge happening Saturday, May 20th! To learn more and to join them, visit: https://gigisplayhouse.org/canton/acceptance-challenge/.
