Meet Our Director, Demetria Lightfoot
Hello, I’m Demetria Lightfoot. I’ve been with The Sunshine House for nearly 30 years and have served as the Center Director since 2012. With more than 30 years in Early Childhood Education, I hold a Master's Degree in Leadership and Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education/Psychology. I also hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential and the BFTS 40 Hour Director Certificate.
Originally from North Carolina and raised in Baltimore, MD, I’ve called Georgia home since 1992 and proudly call myself a “Georgia Peach.” I have two sons, six granddaughters, and two grandsons.
I am passionate about working with children and their families, ensuring everyone feels safe, happy, and supported.

Meet Our Assistant Director, Ashley Thompson
Hi, I’m Ashley Thompson, the Assistant Director of the Sunshine House in Sandy Springs. I have been a part of the Sunshine House family since September 2011, and I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Educational Studies from Clark Atlanta University.
Although I have lived in Atlanta for 18 years, Memphis, TN will always be home. I enjoy reading, having a good laugh, watching basketball and football (Go Grizzlies & Philadelphia Eagles!), and spending quality time with my family. I am happily married with one child.
Working with children and helping others is a great passion of mine. Together along with my Center Director, we are happy to provide quality care and education to every child, every family, every day.
