Discover the Magic of GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo: Announcing Our 25 Fall Programs! 

Get ready for an incredible fall at GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo! We are excited to share 25 dynamic and engaging programs designed to inspire, educate, and empower individuals of all ages and abilities. Join us for a season filled with fun, growth, and unforgettable experiences! 

Why Join GiGi’s Playhouse Programs? 

Our programs offer foundational learning opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and the community. GiGi’s Playhouse is more than just a place to learn—it’s a supportive community where parents and caregivers can share ideas, network, and support each other. We embrace the family unit, fostering healthy and successful relationships between parents, individuals with Down syndrome, and siblings. 

“GiGi’s has provided a safe space for Cohen to learn, grow, and be himself. Our entire family enjoys attending the wide variety of programs offered.” — Sarah N. 

At GiGi’s Playhouse, we help families develop high expectations for their children with Down syndrome. Some families can feel overwhelmed by the diagnosis in the beginning, but our programs are here to support you every step of the way. With our dedicated staff and volunteers, you’ll find the encouragement and resources you need to recognize and nurture your child’s potential. 

“GiGi’s Playhouse acts as a home, but the individuals that fill the building provide us the family & community we never knew we needed.” — Annalise D.
