A Message From Catherine Dooley

I joined the Little Light House Young Professionals Board because it beautifully aligns with the mission I’ve always strived to live by: Love God, Love People, Make a Difference. I’ve always had a deep love for helping people with physical, developmental, and mental disabilities. It's a privilege to have the opportunity to walk alongside individuals and families in their most vulnerable moments and remind them of the beauty, strength, and potential that God has placed within them. The Little Light House blends everything I care about. Faith, service, and impact. It’s a place where the Lord’s light shines brightly, transforming lives, celebrating every child’s unique gifts, and showing families that they are never alone. It’s more than a nonprofit; it’s a ministry of hope. That’s why I’m so excited for Laps for Little Ones, our biggest celebration of the year. It’s a joyful, family-friendly event that brings together students, alumni, and supporters to honor the incredible work happening at LLH. Every dollar raised goes directly toward providing tuition-free services, innovative therapies, and life-changing resources for children with special needs, all right here in Oklahoma. Donating to Laps for Little Ones means you’re helping turn “no’s” into “not yet’s” and giving families the support they deserve and need. I’m grateful to be part of this mission and look forward to seeing the impact we’ll make together.

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.
