A Message From Ethan Sherman

Ethan is an extraordinary child whose journey has been shaped by resilience and courage. In a world that often focuses on the challenges children with special needs may face, there is a place that sees their limitless potential and all they will accomplish at the Little Light House. Some say it's "a place where miracles happen in real time, all the time!" Since he was just six months old, Ethan has been part of the Family Learning Center at Little Light House, where he has continued to learn, grow, and thrive. Thanks to the love, support, and therapies he receives, Ethan has recently reached some amazing milestones- he is crawling, pulling himself up to stand, and even playing patty cake! Every day, he shows us what is possible with determination, support, and the right environment. We invite you to support this incredible school and our family by donating to our Mini-Laps page! Every contribution helps cover the costs of a child's school year, ensuring they receive the care, education, and opportunities they deserve. If you're in Tulsa, we would also love for you to come cheer Ethan on at Mini-Laps on April 12! It's a special event where each child gets their moment to shine, and we can't wait to celebrate Ethan's progress with our community. More details will be shared as the event gets closer! Thank you for being part of our journey and for making a difference in the lives of these amazing children!

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. 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 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.
