A Message From Brooklyn Chandler

Hi! My name is Brooklyn Chandler, and this is my first year as a full-time Little Lighthouse student! I have been on the waiting list for three years. My parents found out I have Down syndrome when I was only 14 hours old! They were very surprised but knew of a place called Little Lighthouse that may might be able to them and ME! Thankfully, God works in amazing ways... one of the residents (my mommy and daddy told me that means he was in school to be a doctor) who told my parents I rock an extra chromosome knew a lot about Little Lighthouse because his wife was a teacher there! My daddy wasted no time and got me on the waiting list! I was able to be part of the pilot group for the Early Intervention program. The EI program is for children on the waiting list. I loved doing EI for 2 years, but I am SO EXCITED it's my turn to go to school full time. Little Lighthouse costs about $30,000 per student per year; however, Little Lighthouse doesn't charge my mommy and daddy tuition! So, I get a personal and internationally recognized education for free! Because school is free for me, my parents want to help Little Lighthouse in any way they can. Would you consider giving to my school so awesome kids like me can learn in a Christ-centered environment? 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.

YOUR GIFT MATTERS
