Why We Decided to Build
Lighthouse

As licensed ABA therapists and special education educators, we saw too many children missing class time and parents juggling pull-out schedules. So in 2022, we opened Lighthouse ELC, a special education school in Crown Heights that puts every child’s needs first. Our therapists and teachers team up in every activity, so your child learns new skills without ever leaving the group. That steady support helps them find their strengths, grow confidence, and carry their wins—big or small—into school, home, and beyond.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: put kids first. With a focus on early intervention, we mix therapy into fun, hands-on learning so every child gets the right support from day one. Our dedicated team of licensed therapists and educators works together to build foundational skills—like talking, playing, and self-control—so your child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally, and becomes their very best selves during these critical development years.
