A Message From Amanda Padilla

Hello everyone! I have recently started working for the Little Light House. The Little Light House is a Christian non-profit providing tuition-free special education and therapeutic services for children with special needs and their families. I am working in the Coral class which is a program that is a first of its kind at the school that focuses specifically on providing specialized education and support for children with autism. I have worked for years with preschool aged children and have always felt a special connection and a drive to help children diagnosed with autism. Now, that I have the privilege to work with this amazing organization and awesome kids, my drive to help them is even stronger. With your help with raising funds for this program, I hope to ensure that it can continue to grow and expand, reaching even more children in need of specialized support. By supporting this program, you are not only helping these children and their families, but you are helping to provide a more inclusive society where every child has an opportunity to have a bright future. I am so excited to see all the work that Coral class will do and the impact that it will have on children with autism. Thank you for your support!

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.
