Who We Are

GiGi’s Playhouse Fort Wayne opened its doors on January 24, 2016. We are Northeast Indiana’s first Down Syndrome Achievement Center. We support local and surrounding area families by offering free educational and therapeutic programs to individuals with Down syndrome from birth to adulthood, their families, and the community.


As the 29th national GiGi’s Playhouse to open, GiGi’s Playhouse Fort Wayne has impacted over 350 families in our community with continued growth. GiGi’s Playhouse makes a difference every day. We empower individuals and families to achieve their greatest potential with confidence, independence, and joy. We have a “place”: we will never let location be a barrier to success. We have “programs”: we will never let curriculum be a boundary to achievement. Most importantly, programs are free. We will never let costs deter our families from participation or impede the achievement of our children and adults.

What We Do

Through free programs and through our Generation G Campaign for global acceptance, we EMPOWER families by maximizing opportunities for daily achievement and lasting acceptance. To ensure lasting acceptance, we must show the world what individuals with Down syndrome are truly capable of achieving as students, co-workers, volunteers, friends, and valued members of their communities. Our program outcomes help advance this vital social impact goal.
