About Little Light House:  Founded in 1972, the Little Lighthouse was created by two mothers, Marcia Mitchell and Sheryl Poole, who needed early  intervention services for their visually  impaired daughters.

Today, the school  focuses on children’s early development to greater impact the rest of their lives.
