My name is Yolanda Parker and I am the Director at Bristow Learning Center. I pride myself as an engaged, collaborative, and goal-oriented program leader. I strive to deliver quality programming for School-Age children with an emphasis on high-quality and meeting and exceeding industry standards. My staff and I will work together to facilitate activities that spark the children’s interests and make them excited to be part of our program.
I attended the University of Richmond in Richmond, VA and have more than 20 years of experience with School-Age care and education programs. I am also a Red Cross certified CPR Instructor.
I began my career in school-age care and education as an enthusiastic teacher. I have since held roles in various teaching and leadership positions such as School-Age Care Director, School-Age Care Field Director, and most recently, School-Age Care Support Specialist supporting many School-Age programs through evaluating and assessing the quality, effectiveness, and compliance of the programs. Additionally, I developed and implemented employee training for both year-round and school-age camp programs to support lead teachers and school administrators.
In my career, I have achieved success in creating and delivering quality school programs. My vision for Bristow Learning Center is to create a vibrant, safe, learning community through support of public school distance learning, while creating complementary activities and environments for students to engage in. Our goal is to allow children to explore subjects in fun, relatable ways, develop time-management skills, reinforce positive social skills, and provide creative ways for students to think on their feet and problem-solve, fostering resiliency and self-confidence in learning. I am excited to have the unique opportunity to turn a challenging time for students into a memorable, impactful school year.
I can’t wait for your family to join us! Looking forward to meeting you soon,
Yolanda Parker
Director
