A Message From Charlotte Johnson

Hello everyone my name is Charlotte but my family calls me Char Char and I just turned 4. I have genetic issues and have had a feeding tube since just a baby. I live with my mommy and daddy and 2 brothers We have lots of fun together. I love to sing and dance and play dress up. I really like animals too. I’m excited that I get to go to school again this year. I'm ready to work hard and learn everything I can. The little Light house is a Christian development center that serves children with special needs birth to six years. I've been on the waiting list since I was three months old. They currently have 94 children enrolled with approximately 273 on the waiting list. The little lighthouse provides state of the art services by highly trained professionals on staff. This includes special education teachers,occupational therapists,physical therapists , a low vision therapist, speech therapists, an assistive technology assistant and a nurse.The little lighthouse opened in 1972 and has always been tuition free. This is their 47th year anniversary, how cool is that. They run strictly from donations and don't receive any government funding or United way funding. It cost around 32,000 per child per year. They are tuition-free for the families. They use events to raise money. Mini-laps is their biggest fundraiser of the year. I need people to sponsor me when I make my lap, so I can help my school. If you would like to make a donation you can give a check to my parents( made out to TLLH). You can also mail it to the little lighthouse at 5120 E.36th st Tulsa ok 74135 or you can make a donation here on my webpage. Make sure you tell them my name so they know who is sponsoring me. Because my school is a 501(c)(3) it is tax deductible. I hope my friends and family will help us to do our fair share in raising money for this event Thank you. Can’t wait to start this next step in my life. Woohoo

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.
