A Message From Sandy Carnes

As the Butterfly class teacher in our Family Learning Center, I represent seven different classes of unique children with varying special needs and their families whom I love as my own. One of them is pictured below. This will be my first full year at LLH and thus, my first request for a donation from you, my friends.  i am so excited and determined to raise money for this great cause, my classroom, and its many classes of precious students that enter its doors each week. Your gifts will help cover the resources necessary for me and my fellow LLH staff to continue offering free of charge to these families, the support, community, therapy, equipment, strategies, and education for both school and home use to help these children reach their highest potential.  Won't you please come along side of me in providing the hope these families patiently waiting on our waitlist so desperately desire and deserve? Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Matthew 19:14 Thank you, and may God bless 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.
