A Message From Easton Quijada

Thank you for viewing Eastons fundraising page!!! This August will be his second year at The Little Lighthouse and we are so thankful! The Little Lighthouse is a TUITION FREE Christian Developmental Center for kids with special needs. It is completely funded by individuals and corporate donations from people just like YOU! They receive no government funding. Everyday Easton receives LOVE, patience & understanding. He also receives numerous types of therapy services throughout the day. Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and those are not cheap! When Easton started attending in August 2018 his greatest challenge was feeding himself with a spoon or fork. Fast forward to now and he is so close to independently feeding himself!! It’s all thanks to his teachers consistency and patience! He uses Sign Language and is learning new signs all the time, and even saying words like HAT! At the end of everyday they have closing circle where they sing songs, do a short activity and pray. Easton has started participating in circle time by dancing and clapping at the appropriate times!! As a parent you don’t realize how GIANT these milestones are until your child doesn’t reach them. The Little Lighthouse plays a HUGE roll in Eastons development and we could never thank them enough for helping our little guy grow in so many aspects of life. If you’d like to donate but can’t spare the funds they always need more volunteers! Go to Littlelighthouse.org to find out more about volunteering! The place is life changing. Thank you!

In Support of Little Light House

Little Light House is a Christian Developmental Center for Children with Special Needs from birth to 6 years old. Tulsa’s Little Light House is internationally recognized as providing some of the most individualized special education and therapeutic early intervention services in the world. A trans-disciplinary team approach maximizes a comprehensive knowledge from professionals who work collaboratively to design prescriptive programs for each child and assist every child in reaching their maximum potential. Through a variety of programs and schedules, these services are carried out by highly credentialed teachers, therapists, and specialists who represent decades of pediatric experience. Early Intervention classes are provided as a part-time program where caregivers attend and learn along with their child for two-hour classes once a week. 

Little Light House is tuition-free for families and does not receive government or United Way funding. Support comes from individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations. In addition, LLH hosts four annual fundraisers each year bringing in about 40% of the $4.2 million dollar operating cost that allows our staff of over 90 members to provide services to over 300 children and families, support nearly a thousand volunteers, and train over 1,000 college and career students each year.

Little Light House believes that all children are a gift from God with the potential to achieve specific milestones to advance their quality of life. We strive for excellence by utilizing a Bible-based curriculum in a fun and loving atmosphere. We believe in an individualized, trans-disciplinary and God-centered approach to education-an approach that joins parents, professionals, and the Holy Spirit as partners in order to nurture the spirit, mind, and body of the children and their families. Our commitment incorporates being called to work/volunteer with children with special needs. Little Light House encourages a positive outlook on the future, based on trust in a loving heavenly Father.
