A Message From Ethan Sherman

Like a tiger on the prowl, Ethan now zooms across the room in his gait trainer to get to his favorite toys, and the Little Light House has been there cheering him on since he was a baby learning to roll. Ethan has ReNU Syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by epilepsy, motor challenges, feeding difficulties, vision issues, autism, and absent speech. The Little Light House has provided support and resources along the way even in the years without a diagnosis. This is his third year at the Family Learning Center where loving teachers, therapists, and staff guide both parents and kids in activities to enjoy with each other. They also provide opportunities for the entire family to enjoy together such as the monthly family gathering, fall festival, and Christmas party, letting his siblings also get in the action. You can help by sharing Ethan’s story and donating to the LLH so they can continue to support these kiddos and their families.

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.
