A Message From Luke DeMarco

Each week I have the privilege of bringing Luke to the Little Lighthouse Family Learning Center for school. He receives physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. Some of the big milestones that Luke has reached since starting at the LLH: learning to sit up on his own, waving hello or goodbye, crawling, eating different types of foods - his favorite being steak! Luke has explored different sensory bins, painted, learned to sign dada and mama, and has made the sweetest friends with the other boys in his class. The amount of support I feel when I walk in the door is something that I might not ever be able to fully explain. I love being in a class with other parents as we encourage each other on this journey. This is a tuition free Christian school that we have been so fortunate to be a part of. We are raising money to thank them for helping Luke reach new milestones each week and for the support that they give us!

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.
