Overfield's primary objectives are to help each child develop his or her own personality, broaden interests, build social skills and use his or her curiosity and creativity. Time is provided to all children to investigate, imagine, listen, observe and probe for deeper understanding. Their natural inquisitiveness is valued and each one is respected and honored as a young learner.  In a process that allows children to explore and see relationships, they are encouraged to talk about what they see and learn and document these important moments of insight.
