Meet Our Team

My name is Kristen Kimbley and I am one of the owners and Directors at Country Day Academy. I have over 20 years of experience working with children in many different capacities. I am originally from California, the Bay Area. I have lived in SC since 2012.  I am a mother of four fun, outgoing boys. My passion for children and love of education has driven me to create Country Day Academy. When I am not working, I love to spend time traveling, shopping and with friends. As a parent and educator, I strive to offer a center where children can get back to social and emotional learning, being outdoors, and exploring academics through hands-on learning.

My name is Denora Brown and I am one of the Assistant Directors at Country Day Academy. I have been in the education field for about 9 years in many different capacities. I have also studied ABA therapies and worked alongside Behavioral Therapists. I am originally from Columbia, SC but relocated to the Charleston area during my adolescent years. When I am not working at CDA, I can be found coaching Recreational Gymnastics and Tumbling classes, offering Behavioral Therapy services, or watching movies at home with my dog Isabella. As an Assistant Director, I strive to offer unlimited support to our profound teachers as they provide a safe and nurturing environment for our students to continue to grow with hands-on learning.
