A Message From Ryleigh Parks

Hi Everyone!! I am very excited to be starting this next year at the Little Lighthouse in Red class. Can you believe it? This is my 4th and FINAL year at this amazing school. This year I will be working on skills to prep me for kindergarten. The Little Lighthouse is a Christian based school for children with disabilities up to the age of 6, and it’s right here in Tulsa! I have had the privilege of attending because of people like you! You see, the Little Lighthouse is a 501(c) organization and doesn’t receive any funding from the government or united way. It solely relies on donations to run. It roughly costs $32,000/yr for each child to attend. All the children who attend get to go for free!! To help with these costs, each family does a fundraiser every year. This is where I need your help!! I’d really love to but my goal this year! Could you help me reach my goal by donating to this amazing school?!

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.

YOUR GIFT MATTERS
