STEM Lab with Ms. Jess — Thursdays at 2 PM 

We are thrilled to be serving on the committee to bring STEM to GiGi’s and now it’s time to pilot this brand-new program!  Led by the amazing Ms. Jess, our STEM Lab is an exciting space where curiosity takes center stage. 

This innovative program is tailored for individuals ages 13 and up, providing an opportunity to explore STEM concepts in a fun, hands-on, and collaborative environment. Whether we’re building, experimenting, or problem-solving, the goal is the same: to strengthen cognitive skills, boost confidence, and spark a lifelong love of learning. Come discover how science can be both educational and a total blast! Register HERE!

🎵 Music Therapy — Saturday, July 12th | 10 – 11 AM for 3-6 year olds, 11AM-12PM for 6-12 year olds 

Get ready to sing, move, and groove—Music Therapy is coming to GiGi’s Deerfield! This special session, led by a board-certified music therapist, invites two age groups—3-6 and 6-12 years old—to experience the joy of music in a way that’s therapeutic, inclusive, and just plain fun.  

Whether your child loves to play instruments, dance along to a beat, or sing their heart out, this program offers a warm, welcoming space for creative expression. Music Therapy supports social, emotional, and developmental growth. No experience needed—just bring your love for rhythm and fun! Register HERE! Music Therapy is funded through a grant, continuation and expansion of this important program will depend on participation.

🧸 Teddy Bear Clinic — July 10th 4-6PM  

We’re BEARY excited to host our very first Teddy Bear Clinic! This imaginative and nurturing program is designed to help children feel more comfortable with medical settings through play and exploration. 

Participants will bring their favorite stuffed animal friends and walk through the steps of a typical doctor’s visit in a safe, supportive environment. With the help of nursing students, kids will learn about stethoscopes, checkups, and other health tools—while “caring” for their teddy bear patients. It’s a gentle, empowering way to reduce anxiety and build familiarity with healthcare experiences. Sign up for your “appointment” HERE!

We hope you’ll join us for these exciting NEW summer programs! Whether you’re trying something for the first time or coming back for a favorite activity, the playhouse is always here to celebrate, support, and grow alongside our incredible community. Here’s to a July filled with joy, learning, and connection! Check out our full calendar of programs HERE!
