Ms. Ashley has her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and her K-5 teaching certification, but her love and passion for teaching children began long before college. She always babysat, was a Sunday School Teacher, Youth Group Leader, Softball Coach, and a member of the child development program within high school as well, where they ran a pre-k program during the day. When she is not within the center, Ms. Ashley enjoys spending time with her family. Some of her favorite activities are snowboarding, hiking, swimming, baking, trying new recipes, playing softball and field hockey! She loves the care that her youngest one receives within our center. Having the peace of mind that her child is in a loving, safe, nurturing environment enables her to focus on maintaining that same quality of care and education within the center! After so many years in the industry, Ms. Ashley still gets excited when she watches a child’s eyes light up as they gain knowledge and self-confidence! She is committed to ensuring that Lightbridge Academy of Randolph is a “home away from home” for all of our center families.
