A Little About Us
The Little Light House offers a tuition-free early intervention program for children birth to six years consisting of intensive therapeutic and educational services. Addressing a child’s physical ability, wellness, mind, and community, our year-round program promotes systematic, long-term, healthy change. A Bible-based curriculum specifically designed for children with special needs is the foundation for our classroom structure. Working alongside parents, our staff members develop individual education plans with measurable goals for each child. School sessions are held Monday through Thursday, from 8:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.
It is not only children who are served by Little Light House. Support groups, seminars and practical training sessions are also provided for the families of our little ones, assisting them with the parenting and remediation of their children. More than an organization, the Little Light House is a ministry.
The services at the Little Light House are carried out by a highly qualified staff of Christian professionals. The students are served year-round by teachers; speech, occupational and physical therapists; and trained volunteers. A loving, supportive community surrounds each child, applauding every milestone of success and visibly demonstrating the love of Christ.

Knocking down barriers is all in a day’s work.When parents don’t have the resources they need to help improve their child’s independence, they feel overwhelmed and defeated.
Everything we do at the Little Light House is designed to help children and families overcome limitations and grow in confidence. Since 2006, we’ve helped over 200 kids improve their speech, physical, perceptual, and sensory integration skills while providing education and support to their parents. We offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech language pathology services alongside the teachers in our classrooms each day to ensure our children are provided with all the tools they need to break barriers. |

The Best Things in Life Are Waiting for You! Become A Volunteer!
Imagine starting off your day with a hug… working in a positive atmosphere with people who care about you…making a difference- a big difference- in the life of a special child. These are some of the best things in life, and our classroom volunteers experience them each time they visit a LLH classroom. One hallmark of our program is our Individual Education Plans created for each student. Our volunteers engage in therapeutic play with the students as they work on their individual goals. Volunteers also help out during meals and group activities.
Volunteers choose how often and what days they want to work. While we prefer that volunteers help from 8:15 to 1:15, half-day shifts may be arranged on occasion. Students and interns are welcome. Volunteers must be 14 or older to work in the classroom.
If you have any questions about how to experience some of these “best things in life”, please visit our volunteers page. We’re always happy to answer questions and help you work out a way to be a part of the LLH experience.
