GiGi's Playhouse Fox Valley

GiGi's Playhouse Fox Valley GiGi’s Playhouse is the ONLY network of Down Syndrome Achievement Centers. We provide FREE programs

We change lives through the consistent delivery of free educational, therapeutic-based, and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and the community, through a replicable playhouse model.

We know this has been a difficult and emotional time for many in our community, and we want to share what comes next following our recent announcement.

As previously shared, the Fox Valley Playhouse will be closing due to financial and operational challenges in sustaining the location long-term.

But this is not goodbye to GiGi’s in the Fox Valley area.

Families can continue participating through the GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse, as well as nearby locations at GiGi’s Playhouse Hoffman Estates and GiGi’s Playhouse Tinley Park.

We are also exploring a GiGi’s Neighborhood model to bring community-based programming and pop-up events to the area, while also continuing to pursue the possibility of a future GiGi’s Playhouse in the greater Naperville area.

If you know of community spaces or are interested in supporting the future of GiGi’s in the area, please contact [email protected]

We are deeply grateful to our Fox Valley community and remain committed to supporting families through this transition.
