A Message From Easton Quijada

I hope you’ll consider helping Easton raise money for his 2020 school year at The Little Light House! His school is a Christian developmental center for children with special needs. They operate fully on donations meaning they get zero government funding. The place is SO popular Easton was on the waitlist for 2.5 years before he got to start going! He receives Physical Therapy, Speech and Occupation therapy while at school. Physical- to help build muscle, working on jumping and running! Speech- to form consonant & vowel sounds and eventually forming words. Occupational- to help with daily independence like putting clothes on, taking them off, brushing teeth, feeding himself. All of this is provided at the Little Light House! Because of donations from people like you and me they are able to offer this for Easton completely free! Since he started school in August 2018 he has expanded the types & textures of food he will eat. He will now use a spoon to eat..pudding, chocolate pudding, and only pudding! Over the course of quarantine Easton has officially became potty trained, HURRAY!! His communication skills are improving with his favorite ASL signs like, ice cream, chip, cracker, candy, cup, milk, and blueberry. He’s just now getting the hang of saying pudding! LLH is definitely a critical stepping stone in Eastons school life. It’s teaching him social skills, the patience to stay sitting in his chair, participation, and it’s also teaching us as parents what areas he needs to improve in before he is set off into the real world of kindergarten. Life throws us some crazy curve balls, but we’re so grateful to have LLH and their amazing staff to help us navigate everything. When Easton was diagnosed with Down Syndrome it was the unknown and the lack of education that made us scared for what was ahead. The teachers and staff are such a God send of a resource and we would be lost without them! I hope you’ll consider making a donation on Eastons behalf to support such an amazing preschool that blesses not only our family but SO MANY in the Tulsa community!

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.
