A Message From Rachel Mouton

Hello Friends! I’m back at the Little Light House and couldn’t be more excited. You may recall I worked for this amazing place for 5 years and left in 2018 with the hope and prayer that I would one day get to return. Well…as always, God is so good and I rejoined the team in April of this year! The Little Light House (LLH) holds a very special place in my heart as Jordan attended a similar developmental center when he was 4 and 5 years old that made a lasting impact and laid the foundation for his success in school. For those who don’t know, the LLH is a Christian developmental center that provides education and therapeutic services (physical, occupational, speech, low vision and assistive technology) for children with special needs, ages birth to six years old. And one of the best parts….these services are provided completely free! As you may imagine, several of our families face financial hardship due to the high costs of medical care for their child. So when we were founded 50 years ago, it was decided that we would not add any financial strain to our families, we would trust God to be our provider and we would provide a community of love and hope to those we serve. We rely 100% on donations from individuals, churches, foundations, businesses, and our annual fundraisers. Once a year, I will participate in Miles for Milestones, an annual 5K that supports the LLH and the families who attend. Your generosity will help these amazing kids reach developmental milestones that often defy original medical prognosis. Each year, we see kids who weren’t supposed walk take their first steps; children who are nonverbal learning to communicate via an assistive app, friendships created and so much more. I would be most grateful to each of you for considering a gift of any amount. All donations are tax deductible. 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.
