Facility Philosophy and Goals
At Paradise for Tots, we view our facility as not only a school, but as a Christian ministry as well. Our philosophy and mission is to educate and lovingly lay a firm foundation built upon Christ-centered, Biblical principles. As we focus on the unique qualities of each child, PFT seeks to foster a positive self-image by demonstrating Jesus’ love for them. God loves children uniquely and completely, and He has specifically chosen each one to be His. (1 John 4:7-8)
What We Believe
- We believe that “all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true, and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right” (2 Timothy 3:16). We believe that children can learn this truth through the word of God and through our teachers who demonstrate the Jesus that they CAN see.
- We believe that each child is “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). Children should be instilled with the knowledge of love and value, both by educators and parents. Children are highly valued and loved by Jesus. People brought their children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Mark 10:13-16).
- We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children, and we consider it a privilege to partner with our parents in this responsibility. Through Christ, our children are capable of great things! “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
- We believe that all children have the opportunity to know God through his Son, Jesus Christ, and develop a personal relationship with Him (Romans (10:9). Through this relationship, children have the assurance of eternal salvation and complete forgiveness of sin.
