At just 7 months old, Emilee is already making waves in the GiGi\u2019s Virtual Playhouse community! She\u2019s been participating in LMNOP (Language, Music N\u2019 Our Peeps) since she was just 2 months old, and in that time, she\u2019s shown us all what Best of All<\/em> <\/strong>truly looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each week, Miss Emilee becomes more interactive, more curious, and more engaged during our virtual sessions. Grace and Lisa\u2014our amazing program leaders\u2014always take a moment to celebrate her growing presence. Whether it’s responding to a new sign or lighting up during a favorite song, Emilee is learning and thriving, one week at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Emilee\u2019s growth isn\u2019t the only thing worth celebrating. Her mom, Christy, has been an incredible role model and champion in her daughter\u2019s life. Christy and Emilee show up to LMNOP every single week with joy and dedication. Christy\u2019s commitment to helping Emilee learn and connect has inspired other parents in our community as well. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe Virtual Playhouse has introduced Emilee to so many new things as a baby,\u201d<\/em> Christy shared. \u201cI\u2019ve been trying to teach her basic sign language from a young age, and each week we learn something new together. Our weekly LMNOP has helped me so much more than I expected, especially through the advice and encouragement from other parents.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday morning LMNOPs have quickly become a favorite time of the week\u2014not just for families, but for our staff as well. The connections being made between parents, the shared stories, and the celebration of each little milestone help us all feel more supported and united. It\u2019s a true reminder that while our programs are virtual, our community is very real. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Emilee and Christy participate in LMNOP each week\u2014and at just 7 months old, it\u2019s the perfect fit for her learning and development. We\u2019re so proud to celebrate Emilee and her Best of All<\/em> moments, and we\u2019re beyond grateful to have Christy\u2019s warm spirit helping strengthen our virtual community each and every week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a place for everyone at GiGi\u2019s\u2014come be part of the fun, friendship, and learning that make LMNOP so special each week. We hope you can join us!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
