Dear Friends:
Little Lighthouse Learning Center a quality learning center that provides education and care for children who are 2 1/2 to 11. We have invested in the needs of the children in this area and its surrounding communities for almost seven years. Each of our classrooms is staffed with Early Childhood degreed teachers, and state certified teacher aides. Our school prides itself in being one of three centers in Lorain County accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), and one of two accredited learning centers with the National After-School Association (NAA). Our creative curriculum is approved by the Ohio Department of Education and is influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach. We are unique in that we offer creative educational learning experiences where children engage and explore the learning environment which allows them to become free thinkers.
We have been located in and are mission of the Delaware Avenue United Methodist Church for almost seven years. We have outgrown the existing building we are currently in and are looking for a new home. We are asking for our community to come together to make a positive investment in the lives of young children. Through your generosity and support our quality programs and services will continue to serve children and families in Lorain County.
We want to expose children to as much attention, culture and art that we possibly can because we value their worth. We invite you to visit us and see for yourself the opportunities and education we provide for young children. Can we count on you to make a tax deductible contribution to our Capital Campaign and make difference in a multitude ways for the children of our community? We are asking for your pledge to invest in the little futures of this city and assist us in renovating and revitalizing an existing building that will create a quality learning center for many generations to come. Together we can leave a lasting positive legacy for the children of Lorain County.
Because of the Children,
The Board of Directors of Little Lighthouse Learning Center
