Ontario Christian Preschool/day Care

Ontario Christian Schools is a necessary and joyful means to bring glory and honor to God in response to His mercy to His people. The school is necessary because education is essential for effective obedience to God’s will; it is joyful because as God’s children we individually and communally serve, explore, participate, and delight in His creation.

Every human has a perspective or worldview that directs and empowers the way he speaks, acts, and lives. The educational perspective of Ontario Christian School is based on the authority of the Bible as the written Word of God. In our understanding of the Bible, we find help and direction in the Reformed heritage and confessional standards. Ontario Christian recognizes that Christians adhere to a variety of confessional standards and it actively supports an interdenominational ministry by helping all Christian parents in their efforts to lead their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

One way to summarize the philosophy of Ontario Christian is to understand the relationships between the individual and God, the individual and self, the individual and other human beings, and the individual and all other aspects of God’s creation. The purpose of Ontario Christian Schools is to train the students to live in and respond to these relationships commanded in God’s Word.

In creation these relationships were established to bring honor and glory to God. People, created in the image of God, are given a special responsibility to be God’s representative to ensure that his life and all of his relationships are consistent with the ideals God has established. Men and women have special roles as steward in subduing, controlling, and preserving the earth.

All of the ideal relationships, however, were distorted when humanity willfully rejected his and her assigned places and attempted to build their own kingdom. In spite of humanity’s response, God provided through the atonement of Jesus Christ the means of restoring the relationships. As God restores His relationship with mankind, this permits the restoration of each of the other relationships. Men and women are free in thankful response to serve God as sovereign Lord, to love and respect themselves as God’s image bearers, to love their neighbors, and to subdue, control, and preserve the earth as God’s stewards.

We are called as Christians to grow in maturity in Jesus Christ, to be knowledgeable about our faith, to stand firm in our convictions, to live as servants within community, and work toward reconciling all things and relationships to Jesus Christ. The home has the primary responsibility for the children and is the children’s primary source of nurture and guidance. The school serves as an extension of the home. The Christian parent, as a member of the body of Christ, seeks for the family growth in faith and practice with regular and active involvement in a local Christian church.
