A Message From makayla Hunziker

Hi, my name is Grayson. I am 5 years old and have attended the Little Light House since I was 1. Shortly after birth, I was diagnosed blind with 6 different brain abnormalities. With the help of LLH, I have been able to defy the odds. Little Light House is a school for special needs students and their families! My tuition to be a part of this incredible program is $38,000 per year. But thanks to amazing donors like you, I am able to attend this school COST FREE! Little Light House doesn’t accept money from The government or United Way, so your donation, big or small would be incredibly helpful for me to help keep the doors open, here at Little Light House! THANK YOU so much for your continued support. Because of donations, big and small, the Little Light House was able to provide me with an adaptive tricycle that I get ride around the school delivering coffee. LLH has also been able to provide me with a mobility cane to assist me while I am walking due to my vision deficits. LLH is able to provide tuition-free education centered around Christ and inclusion. They offer a variety of therapies to accommodate my school mates and me. My favorite part of attending Little Light House is Praise and Worship and giving out hugs to everyone I encounter throughout my day. LLH is truly the HAPPIEST place on the planet.

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.
