About Ashley

I am constantly awed by the magical lens through which children view the world. In 2016, following a 7-year career as a magazine writer/editor, I relocated to the NC mountains and followed an inner calling to work in early childhood education. I worked with 4 and 5-year-olds in a child care setting for one year, have experience working with homeschooled children, and recently launched a pen pal service for little ones. My mission as a caretaker is to hold the loving space necessary for young learners to blossom through play, and to empower them to celebrate and honor their unique gifts.
