Meet Our Director, Ashley Byrd

My name is Ashley Byrd, and I have been in the early childhood field for more than 7 years. I’m married with three daughters and a bonus daughter. Originally from Alpharetta, GA, I grew up in Inman, SC, and served in the U.S. Army Reserve for 6 years.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Leadership, Policy, and Advocacy from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Birth Through Kindergarten from Western Carolina University. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, spending time on our mini farm, and traveling with my family.

As Center Director, I’m passionate about creating a nurturing, safe, and high-quality environment where children and families feel like part of the family. I aim to build respectful, professional relationships with the community and ensure every child’s journey is supported at The Sunshine House.
