A Message From Crew & Ford Canady

The Little Light House is a non-profit developmental center for children with special needs right here in the heart of Tulsa. Since 1972, we have provided highly individualized education and therapeutic services to children aged birth to six years, all tuition-free. I've had the privilege and blessing to work here the last two years and serve on an incredible team of individuals. One of the best parts about my job is that my two boys get to be a part of the reverse inclusion program at Little Light House. My favorite thing is they do not see a diagnosis, but they see their friend who is rocking, learning to crawl or to eat independently, seeing a classmate learn to communicate for the first time or even just learning about Jesus and the love of God has for others. My goal is $38,281.23 because that is one-year tuition for one of our students. As the Senior Director of Development, I know I have the opportunity to represent our students to the community while fundraising to provide unparalleled services for our children.

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.
