A Message From Easton Quijada

This is Eastons 4th and final year at the Little Light House! This school was literally a God send to us in the beginning of our special needs parenting journey. We never realized how much we didn’t know. I only hope they can continue their mission of serving children and families with special needs in the Tulsa community! Every year we parents try to raise as many funds as possible for LLH since that is the only type of funds they receive, donations! It doesn’t matter if it’s a $5 donation or $100 donation, it’s all a blessing!! Easton receives all types of FREE therapy services at his school, Speech, OT, & PT to name a few. The average cost per year per student is $30,000!!! So you can see why we fundraise! He has accomplished so many significant milestones while attending LLH. One big one is independently feeding himself with a spoon or fork. You have no clue the difference this has made in our families daily lives not having to assist him at meal time. He is potty trained! Even with limited communication skills! He continues to impress us with his imitations and cooperation during praise and worship time in the classroom! One thing that’s been heavy on me as a parent is Eastons unwillingness and limitations in his writing skills. It makes me very uneasy to send him to public school next year without being able to write, or even TRY to write. How is he suppose to excel in a classroom without such a vital skill? His teacher this past year seriously got him to pick up a crayon and willingly draw a circle, a line “this way,” and a line “that way.” Easton is a tough dude to get to cooperate and I’m telling you this skill would have never been capable without his teacher’s persistence, creativity, and love for him and his progress. This is the BEST place on earth that has seriously improved our families quality of life. If there’s ever a place or mission you are willing to donate your money to, it’s this place!

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
