A Message From Gideon Rieck

Welcome to joyful Gideon's page! We cannot express our gratitude for the Little Light House and the way that they love him! In our second year here, we are still blown away at the care, attention and new ideas they have for Gids every single day. His teachers are pure gold. His speech therapist has really expanded his palate this year with all sorts of new foods and textures, and his OT, PT, and vision therapist are each helping him be the best little boy in all his own ways. No matter how big or small, your gift to the Little Light House is helping so many amazing kids. The leadership of the school is strong and they do so much for not just our son, family and community, but all across the world. Thank you so much for coming alongside to support Gideon and his best pals at the Little Light House!

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
