Are you one of the lucky few that has an extra chromosome? Let me first just say ” You Are Down Right, Awesome !” ” We love our homies with extra chromies in NYC!” Case and point, a dedicated mom made sure that a Gigi’s Playhouse set up shop here in Manhattan to support you. Gigi’s Playhouse is a Down Syndrome Achievement Center that has locations all over the world. Let me repeat. Achievement Center. That means they know You Can Do Big Things!
Our NYC Playhouse opened in 2012 in lower West Harlem. This clean and well-maintained center serves many purposes. Families can congregate and get to know one another. Ummm, Can we say instant friends? Yes, Please. Gigi’s Playhouse also provides services such as one on one tutoring in math and literacy. The best part is they are tailored to your unique learning style. Caring, and experienced mentors let you have a voice in learning and empower you to succeed. Oh and Get This-once a month they have an Epic Teentastic Dance Party. Request Songs and Get your Groove On with New and Old Friends who also have Down Syndrome. For those that are into taking care of themselves, ( I know I am) there is Gigi Fit, an exercise curriculum done as a group. Remember you are always just one workout away from a good mood.
Acceptance paired with lots of other FREE purposeful programming is one of the many reasons you will turn to this Playhouse for your needs.
