A Message From Liam Vandeweert

Liam attends Little Lighthouse once a week, where he participates in lessons led by a teacher and supported by a team of therapists experienced in working with children with special needs. These lessons are designed to meet each child exactly where they are. We truly believe God placed these people in our lives. One of the greatest blessings of Little Lighthouse is that it offers a Christ-centered curriculum tailored to Liam’s unique needs. He was diagnosed with autism last winter, and this place has been a joy-uplifting environment for our family. As a family, we’ve received support, and Liam has flourished because he feels so seen, understood, and loved. Over the past 2 years since starting this program, we’ve witnessed so many miracles in our boy. We are forever thankful for the obstacles he has overcome and for the village of people who support and guide him every step of the way. Your support helps children like Liam continue to grow and thrive. It also allows Little Lighthouse to provide individualized care and therapies for other children in the program, giving each one the encouragement they need to reach their potential. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and donations they mean so much.🤍

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.
