A Message From Ella Newhouse

Hello! My name is Ella Newhouse. This is my fourth and final year on the Youth Advisory Board, and I couldn't be more excited to help fundraise for Little Light House through our event, Fall Fest! The past two summers, I volunteered in the Summer Apprenticeship program and loved every second of it! Throughout my time in Pink Class, I saw firsthand how Little Lighthouse helps kids be kids, regardless of any special needs they may have. I have experienced the joy of Little Light House and watched as each child receives specialized care and therapy that allows them to reach their full potential. Serving these children every day lit a spark in my heart to show these children the love that Christ has for them. In Pink Class, Paxton, a little boy with Down syndrome, makes it a mission to hug everyone he sees before he leaves school. Baylor was told by doctors that he may never walk, but at Little Light House, he now runs around the classroom, squealing with excitement at another day of school. Amina (pictured to the left) is a sweet soul with the biggest smiles. Building relationships with Little Light House children and staff has been a priceless experience. Little Light House pours so much into each student. Each child's life is transformed by the therapy, technology, and education that Little Light House gives them. The best part is that no family ever pays tuition for the services their child receives, even though each child’s attendance costs roughly $38,000 each year. Little Light House relies solely on private funding from generous donors like you! Please join me by supporting this incredible organization in providing children and families with life-changing care by supporting my fundraiser for Fall Fest! 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.
