Curry was born and raised primarily in Maine and still lives on the Maine coast in a cabin in the woods. Her career in early childhood began in her early 20’s as a teacher in a subsidized child-care program. Since that time, she has had a wide variety of experiences, including working with Head Start, Navy Child and Family programs in England and Sicily, the University of Maine Center for Community Inclusion, and as an independent trainer and consultant with national accreditation and mentor projects. Curry considers her work with Teachstone as the pinnacle of her career. In her 5+ years with Teachstone she has delivered the Pre-K CLASS Observation and the Pre-K Train the Trainer Program. In addition, she was worked with the MMCI (Making the Most of Classroom Interactions) and the MTP (My Teaching Partner) professional development programs. Curry spends a lot of her time on the road (and in the skies). When she’s at home, she enjoys cooking and pairing wine with her wine group. Curry believes that sharing the CLASS is the best way to achieve her personal mission of enhancing learning for children through the support of teachers.
