Program Director, BronxWorks ECLC I at 1130 Grand Concourse
Beverly McLeod has been a teacher for her entire career and was heavily influenced by amazing teachers she had at an early age. After attending St. Joseph’s Teaching College and earning a degree in Elementary Education, Beverly was a teacher of young children for many years. She then attended Lehman College, earning a Bachelor’s in Sociology and a Master’s in Education. Beverly joined BronxWorks as a Lead Teacher for an ECLC class, and she was promoted to the Program Director of ECLC I at 1130 Grand Concourse within her first year. She has now held that position for the last decade, overseeing all staff and curriculum at the center. Beverly is proud to work with such caring and skilled colleagues, many of whom have been with the organization longer than she has. Beverly’s favorite thing about working with young students is leaving a positive experience of learning that will continue with them into elementary school. Her favorite activity with the students is raising trout during the year and then releasing them in a river upstate.
“I am big on providing them the best educational experience for their first time. So they will take with them the love of learning.”
Outside of work, Beverly loves to decorate and do Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects.
Titilola Omokpo
Program Director, BronxWorks ECLC II at 1472 Montgomery Avenue
Titilola Omokpo learned that she loved to teach by working alongside her parents, both of whom were educators. Now almost three decades later, she is still working in education and has focused on early childhood learning. Titilola earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Education while living in Nigeria and earned her Master’s in Early Childhood Education from Mercy College. Titilola started at BronxWorks as an ECLC Lead Teacher, with most of her prior experience being in classrooms with preschoolers. Shortly after she started, the Program Director position at ECLC II opened up and she was encouraged by her supervisors to take the position. Titilola has now been the Program Director of BronxWorks ECLC II for 11 years. She is very passionate about her work because early childhood education is foundational to the success and well-being of young learners. Titilola advocates for her staff to ensure they have the resources and training they need to continue growing professionally and to support the deep commitment and care they show the students. She is currently pursing the Children’s Program Administration Credential (CPAC) at CUNY School of Professional Studies.
“This is the work I love, working with children. Seeing their smile, the enthusiasm in their face, that makes my day.”
Outside of work, Titilola loves fashion, cooking, and listening to music.
