GiGi’s\u00a0Playhouse-Quad Cities was born from a dream team that was the\u00a0Up Side\u00a0of Down Syndrome Family Group. They were an active group that was\u00a0meeting regularly and holding an annual Buddy Walk. In 2010, the group learned about\u00a0GiGi’s\u00a0Playhouse, and they began talks with local families to determine the need for a local Playhouse. In July of 2011,\u00a0GiGi’s\u00a0Playhouse-Quad Cities, LLC was formed and on October 1, 2011,\u00a0GiGi’s\u00a0Playhouse-Quad Cities opened its doors.<\/p>\n
GiGi’s Playhouse-Quad Cities was the 8th Playhouse to open out of the now 50+ locations. The popular program LMNOP (Language, Music N’ Our Peeps) that is offered at most GiGi’s locations was started right here in the Quad Cities by one of our dedicated and talented moms.<\/p>\n
GiGi’s\u00a0Playhouse-Quad Cities is located in Moline, IL but it serves the entire Quad Cities including those from Iowa and surrounding areas.\u00a0Many families drive\u00a030 minutes to an hour to participate in the free purposeful programs offered.<\/p>\n
A location that began with approximately 50 families and volunteer staff now has around 200 families and 2 staff members. GiGi’s Playhouse-Quad Cities turned 10 years old on October 1, 2011 and soon after began an expansion project to allow for more families to be served with additional programming offered.<\/p>\n\n\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
