Steeped in a tradition of academic and therapeutic
excellence, the Little Light House is a tuition-free Developmental
Center that for over three decades has been making a difference
in the lives of hundreds of children with special needs. Founded
in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Little Light House opened its first satellite
school in Central Mississippi, in January of 2006. Located in
a beautiful new facility on the North Shore in Rankin County,
the Little Light House - Central Mississippi is financially and
operationally independent of its parent
school in Tulsa.

Our guiding scripture is:
”For I know the plans I have for you,” declares
the LORD, ”plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”
-Jeremiah 29:11

The Little Light House serves children age birth
through six with special needs. Our students come from a variety
of religious and ethnic backgrounds, and have been diagnosed with
developmental delays resulting from physically and mentally challenging
conditions. Their disabilities include Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome,
Hydrocephaly, Autism, and a range of other disorders.
LLH Expanding Again: Overwhelming community support adds third class in three years.
Having raised over $730,000 since opening in January 2006, the Little Light House will grow to three tuition free classes for children with special needs on August 18, 2008. “God has truly blessed the Little Light House through the generosity of many individuals, businesses and churches, says Executive Director Maureen Harbinson. “We give Him the credit for working through people of all ages and abilities. Gifts from $10 to $25,000 have all come together to make this possible.”
Not only has God worked to expand this ministry, He has also blessed the work of our teachers and therapists. Since opening, Joshua, Gabriel, Caroline and Nicholas have all learned to walk. Julianna knows her numbers and letters. Ella and Andrew have overcome major barriers to eating. Allyson has been transitioned into a preschool for typically developing children, and Isabella will follow her this fall. Emily can feed herself. Our newest students, Breanna and Benjamin, are making new friends, and the list of accomplishments goes on.
