A Message From Kennedy Stines

Mini Laps is April 6th!! Kennedy and her friends will proudly walk a lap to celebrate their accomplishments this year and throw a great party! This is our second year to participate and Kennedy will WALK her own lap this year, WE ARE SO EXCITED! Her rapid growth and development is owed not only to her hard work, but every single thing we've received through Little Light House. Mini Laps is our annual parent led fundraiser for LLH! Kennedy's school is completely donor funded so that pure generosity is the reason she has so many opportunities that we could never give her on our own. I will never forget our first day of Early Intervention, August 24, 2022. I had no idea when we walked through those doors, life as we knew it would never be the same again. She's getting closer and closer to being a full time student! We couldn't imagine navigating the unknowns of our new journey without the phenomenal therapists, specialists, teachers, and unlimited resources that LLH has to offer - and the families we've grown to love along the way. Little Light House has been a great blessing for not only Kennedy, but us as parents by providing a life changing community, knowledge, skills, tools, and encouragement to be the best parents possible. I am so grateful for the lifelong friends we've made, and it's only just the beginning. The average cost for one child to attend Early Intervention is $7,127. It is truly amazing that everything is completely free for our children. Early Intervention is 12.5% of LLH's annual budget. ($898,025) Every donation, no matter the amount, changes lives in greater ways than you could ever imagine. Thank you from the depths of my soul for your giving heart and pouring into your community to help our children! **LLH is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. All gifts are tax-deductible**

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.
