A Message From Wesly Howard

Wesly was a micropremie. Born 3 months early and weighing under 2 pounds. He has been showing his strength and resilience since day one. Everything is on his time, including milestones. Wesly is nonverbal, primarily g-tube fed, is delayed in motor and processing skills and has sensory aversions. He has made great progress and if he isn't running and jumping, he is requesting a song to be played or sung to him. We are thankful for all Little Light House has already done for our family. Their ideas, activities, advice, and support carry us through the good days and the tough ones too. Wesly has a place to come to where every small win is celebrated in a BIG way. He receives therapy services, participates in sensory activities, and learns about Jesus. We are thrilled to raise money and awareness for a place as exceptional as Little Light House.

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.
