💫 Celebrating Braden’s “Best of All” Moment at the Virtual Playhouse
At GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse, we believe that every step forward, big or small, deserves to be celebrated. For Braden and his family, one recent moment captured the true spirit of “Best of All,” and it’s one they’ll never forget.
During a recent virtual program, Braden joined his peers for a session led by our incredible team of volunteers who consistently show up with kindness, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to each participant. As the program came to a close, the volunteer asked if anyone wanted to share before signing off. Without hesitation, Braden nodded. Unprompted and with confident, clear speech, he thanked the program leaders and shared how much he enjoyed the class.
It may seem like a simple gesture, but for Braden’s family, it was everything. In that moment, they saw growth, self-assurance, and heartfelt gratitude. It was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when kids are empowered, encouraged, and included.
🌐 Why the Virtual Playhouse Matters
Though Braden’s family lives near a GiGi’s Playhouse location, they’ve discovered that the Virtual Playhouse offers something truly special: access to diverse programs that might not be available in person and the opportunity to connect with families from across the country. It’s more than just convenience. It’s community.
This summer, Braden participates in several virtual programs including
- Storytelling
- Dance LaBlast
- Friends, Fun & Fitness Teen (Taekwondo)
- Down to Dance in partnership with the University of Florida
While he enjoys them all, there’s one that stands out. Taekwondo is the highlight of his week and a program he genuinely looks forward to.
🧡 More Than a Program, It’s a Lifeline
For Braden and his family, GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse isn’t just an alternative. It’s an essential part of their lives. It brings structure, joy, and opportunities to grow socially, emotionally, and physically. Each session is a chance to build confidence, make friends, and celebrate the everyday wins that add up to something incredible.
Because at GiGi’s, we know the journey is made up of moments and we’re here for every single one.
