We are a few days late with our announcement, but we hope you’ll excuse us as we were celebrating all our Pre-K graduates last week. We are so happy to introduce are entire CCA family to our new Director, Mrs. Andrea Kitchens. Below you can read a little about her, her ex professional experience and her family. We are so happy to have you!!
Hi CCA families! My name is Andrea Kitchens, and I am excited to join the team as the Director of Cainhoy Children's Academy. Prior to joining CCA, I worked as part of the Education Team for the Sunshine House, coaching teachers and supporting admin at all the Low Country schools. From 2018-2022, I was the Director of Archway Academy in Summerville. My husband and I have been married for eighteen years and we have three children, Riley (16), Colbie (11), and Presley (8). I am eager to begin building relationships with all the children, families, and staff. I believe that connection is the basis for success in early childhood education. From that connection, bonds are formed, and learning and development can begin.
