As our site coordinator she will be the face of the playhouse and assist in getting our families and volunteers set up in our programs and assist with any other needs that families may have. Heidi looks forward to getting to know and support your families in anyway that she can through GiGi’s Playhouse.

Our Programs:

Our programs launched after Labor Day! Please visit our website to learn about our fantastic line-up of purposeful programs for all ages. We will open with signature programs and we have plans to expand.

Our GiGi’s Playhouse programs provide for a purposeful progression of skills and abilities from birth through adulthood. Each child develops at his or her own individual pace. Our programs encourage growth through purposeful progression by setting high expectations and encouraging them to strive for their “ Best of All!”
