A Message From Emily Casella

I’ve been an associate teacher at the Little Light House for two years now and it is absolutely the best job I could have. I’ve loved seeing my students grow and learn more every day, and getting to work in a Christian environment.  Little Light House is a preschool that serves children with special needs. It runs entirely on donations so every single child who comes can have tuition-free education and therapy 4 days each week. There are more than 100 students here daily and over 100 others who are participating in our weekly early intervention program. We provide the best services we possibly can to help each child reach their highest potential.  Please consider donating to our Blue class fundraiser to help us continue serving our children in the best ways possible. Your donation could be used for new books, educational toys, sensory activities, and so many other things. Even just $5 or $10 is helpful for providing the best to these students.

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.
