The Overfield Family Partnership (OFP)

The Overfield Family Partnership (OFP) was created to enable families, caregivers, and teachers to work together to support the children, the school, the community, and each other.

OFP Leadership and Class Ambassadors form a layer of structure to support all families’ involvement in the life of the school. Bi-monthly meetings keep collaboration and connection at the heart of the partnership.

Through fundraising efforts and the contributions of their time and talent, the Overfield Family Partnership supports:

Teachers:

  • Funding a teacher trip to the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance (NAREA) and to Reggio Emilia, Italy
  • Subsidizing classroom supplies
  • Showing appreciation through gifts and gestures

Families:

  • Facilitating ongoing dialogue and learning about early childhood and parenting
  • Creating social connections that grow into friendships and supporting relationships
  • Connecting families to the larger community

Campus:

  • Contributing to campus and building improvements
  • Designing and constructing unique learning environments in collaboration with teachers and children
