“My child has been going to Gios since she was 6 months old, now 6 years later still going strong! She loves her Gios family & spending time with the staff and her buddies there. We feel so lucky to have found a place we know she is cared for, loved and enjoyed unconditionally.”
We also love that it gives us the opportunity to spend unsolicited time with our son, since a lot of our time is spent on our kid’s Dr appts, therapies & specialist visits.
Thank you for providing such a safe, welcoming, and joyful environment for our daughter!”
Family Testimonials
“Gio’s feels like family. When you have a child with a disability, many people don’t understand that you can’t just call up the neighborhood teenager to babysit — you need someone who truly understands your child’s unique needs. Gio’s is perfect for this. The staff provide not only skilled care, but also kindness, patience, and genuine joy in spending time with the kids.
Thanks to Gio’s, we’re able to run errands we wouldn’t otherwise get done, or even take a much-needed break to recharge. Our son calls his time there his “playdates,” and that says it all — he feels happy, safe, and loved every time he’s there.
Gio’s Garden has been a true gift to our family.”
