Myron

“Our 3 y/o son Myron has gained independence, is singing along to more songs, is making more sounds, and is imitating more words. Miss Fiona and Ms. Jen are always coming up with fun activities to keep my son engaged and his sister loves to come along and play.” - Kristy, Myron’s mom.

Bea-&-Emily

“So thankful today for GiGi’s Playhouse Milwaukee and our AMAZING volunteers! Magic happens behind these doors. Bea is coming twice a week - for Speech with Marquette on Wednesdays and today for Literacy Tutoring. These one-on-one sessions are specially designed to help kids like Bea, and we are seeing so much growth in her right now. She walked in, said hi, and introduced herself by name, plus many other words from my mostly nonverbal child. She’s coming in and ready to learn. Brings tears to my eyes! These programs are so wonderful and doing so much for her, and all for free, thanks to the generous people who support GiGi’s Milwaukee! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!“ -Erin, Beatrix’s mom

“I still remember... it was during our first visit at Children's WI, after Elise was born. We were overwhelmed with all of the information but among the resources, one stood out. Beautiful pictures showing love, hope and acceptance. It was the folder about GiGi's Playhouse! After a while we made it to our first event. Elise was 3 months, and we loved meeting the families and most importantly how welcoming, joyful and accepting everyone was, and we just kept coming back! Elise is now 3. She smiles when she comes to the Playhouse and her brother loves playing and making new friends. We are grateful beyond words for GiGi's Playhouse, it has changed our life. “ -Yaidi, Elise’s mom
