Meet Our Director, Demetria Lightfoot
Hello, I’m Demetria Lightfoot. I’ve been with The Sunshine House for more than 13 years and have served as the Center Director since 2012. With more than 25 years in Early Childhood Education, I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential and the BFTS 40 Hour Director Certificate. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education/Psychology.
Originally from North Carolina and raised in Baltimore, MD, I’ve called Georgia home since 1993 and proudly consider myself a “Georgia Peach.” I’m married with two sons and four grandchildren. I enjoy reading, watching movies, spending time with family, and of course, football—Go Falcons, Bulldogs, and Ravens!
I’m passionate about working with children and families, ensuring everyone feels safe, happy, and supported.

Meet Our Assistant Director, Ashley Thompson
Hello, my name is Ashley Thompson, and I am the Assistant Director of the Sunshine House in Buckhead. I have been a part of the Sunshine House family since September 2011. I have my Bachelor's degree in Educational Studies from Clark Atlanta University. Working with children and helping others is my passion.
Although I have lived in Atlanta for 13 years, Memphis, TN will always be home. I enjoy reading, a good laugh, watching basketball, and spending quality time with my family. I am happily married with one child. Together along with my center director, we are happy to provide high-quality care and education to every child, every family, everyday.
