A Message From Daniel Johnson

We can't believe that we are getting to say this... but after THREE years of waiting, trusting, and praying, we can finally say that Daniel is starting school at The Little Light House next year! I am so anxious to see the amazing growth that he will achieve over the next year because of these amazing teachers, therapists, facilities, and resources that are now available to him. This school has been invaluable to us since we moved to Tulsa three years ago, and it is such a huge blessing to families who are lucky enough to have a child with special needs, like Daniel. Daniel is basically a huge goofball, and has the best, guttural laugh that will put a smile on anyone's face. He loves anything that has to do with cars, balls, running, and being outside. He can, and will, do about anything to get you to smile or wrestle with him. He has physical, cognitive, and speech delays, that allow us to get lots of extra help from therapists. Now he gets to work with the best of the best at LLH! "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14 This fundraiser is so much more important than I realized, until Daniel became a student at The Little Light House. It is the biggest and most important event of the year! All of the LLH students are allowed to go to this school TUITION FREE because of the incredible people who donate to it. They receive no funding from the government or United Way. If you feel led, please consider donating to this incredible school where all of the students are loved and celebrated because of their differences, not in spite of them. "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 Thank you to all of our family and friends, who have loved and learned about Daniel alongside us. We are grateful for every one of you! Love, Alice, Taylor, Hope, and Samuel

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.
