A Message From Lindsey Kehr

For those of you who don’t know, this summer I started my dream job as a Speech Language Pathologist at a school in Tulsa called The Little Light House. Little Light House is a Christian Developmental Center for children with special needs. Each day, our kiddos get to learn under a team of special education teachers and therapists (me!). Additionally, our administrative staff ensures our facility can run solely through private funding, and that our children can attend completely tuition free. This saves families $30,000 per year, the estimated cost to attend the LLH. Between doctor visits, surgical procedures and therapy visits, our families are already faced with many financial obligations. But, thanks to our incredibly generous donors (including you), every child attends for free! As I previously mentioned, the LLH is an incredible and truly one-of-a-kind place!! We begin every morning with a staff wide Bible study before the children arrive. Here, we pray for our students, one another, and for friends and family in our community. Chances are, someone who will be reading this has been prayed for at one point or another by our staff! After Bible study, we go full speed ahead into our day! Our children’s schedules are jam packed with circle time, snack, lunch, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, vision therapy, Bible time, cooking, sensory play and more!! I am so thankful for a community that supports me and God’s precious miracles. On September 11th through September 13th, I will be participating in an event called Miles for Milestones. For this event, I will be participating in a 20 mile walk to raise support so we can continue to provide our kiddos with a free education. Whether it’s by contributing through donations or simply praying for our organization, I truly appreciate it!! If you have questions or would like more information, please message me or visit our website at www.littlelighthouse.org! The LLH is a 501(c)(3) organization and any gift is tax deductible!”

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.
