A Message From Isabel Nelson

Hello, thanks for stopping by to learn about The Little Light House and what it means to us! Isabel has been on the waiting list to attend LLH for 2 1/2 years, since she was just over 6 months old. We debated adding her to it, distance being the biggest factor for us but decided being on the list wouldn't hurt anything in the meantime and who knew what the future would bring. Early education is one of the biggest ways we can help give Iz the tools she'll need for her future. Izzy's done private therapies and some EI since she was about 7 months old; to help her eat, drink, talk, sit, crawl, walk, motor and cognitive skills, etc. We also saw some of her biggest leaps were when she saw other littles doing things she wanted to do, her first time on all fours was after watching other kids crawl around her, her first steps likewise. We looked into early headstart where we live when we saw how much being with her peers influenced her with no luck so when we were offered a chance to join LLH's part time Family Early Learning Program pilot, we jumped at the chance. It's been almost a year now and the progress is so encouraging. Izzy will now be joining Yellow class full time this August at Little Light House and after seeing just some of it and seeing our friends that already go full time absolutely flourish, we're all so excited. There are special teachers, therapists and staff so therapies built into fun learning are the norm. I seriously can't wait to see how she blooms here. It is estimated that it costs about $32,000 each a year for a student to attend LLH but Isabel gets to attend tuition free. The school is not government funded, all of their funding comes from corporate and individual sponsors. We won't get kicked out if we don't meet a minimum goal. But we will push this fundraiser as far as we can because they do such great things here and we've already seen it firsthand and benefitted from it. If you can help us meet or surpass our goal, please do. Izzy, and all her friends 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.
