A Message From Leyton Hull

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 January 2015, we were told our little girl was not going to make it to birth, she had a 3% chance to make it, and 1% after 6 months, Leyton made it to birth and now is going to school with so many who believe and push her to be the best she can be. Being Leyton's parents has been our BEST, MOST unexpected BLESSING. We have learned that God has bigger plans, and to put our trust in him and watch him work. We all learn and thrive differently and watching these children day after day at the Little Light House is absolutely impeccable. I cannot believe her first year has came and gone and we are leaving Orange class with so much more than what we started with. The Little Lighthouse has blessed and enriched our lives and we are thrilled for Leyton to attend her second year this August! The Little Lighthouse has been serving children with special needs since 1972. The highly credentialed teachers and therapists come to work everyday to love and teach these children. The quality of care that is received is estimated to cost $32,000 annually but we send Leyton there TUITION-FREE. The Little Lighthouse does not charge tuition to families, they do not receive ANY funding from the government or United Way; they have kept their doors open, and even expanded, thanks to generous donations. Our family is so excited to see what is in store for our girl, this year, at the Little Lighthouse. We cannot wait to see new milestones and even inchstones as we call all of her achievements big or small an accomplishment. She will have new friendships made as we are moving into a new class, as well as continued growth for her and her amazing school. We are grateful for your role in our journey and thank you for your support. We will take part in several fundraising efforts leading up to October 12, 2019, when Leyton and her friends will participate in the annual Mini-Laps. We hope you will be there to cheer her on, and highly consider clicking on the donate button below. 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.
