The "SON" Shine Club (SSC), an early enrichment program, is a ministry of The Light House Education Center. SSC is open to students of all religious backgrounds. We are proud to have served this community since 2001. The early enrichment program was founded by TLH in 2001 as a mission to the surrounding community and the Greater Northwest Houston area. We have been blessed every year with new children and families to love. The program utilizes a proven Christian curriculum taught by loving Christian teachers. SSC is committed to teaching even the youngest child that Jesus loves them and encourages continual exploration of the world God created.
