Wende Curry, School Director
Hello! My name is Wende Curry. I am the Preschool Director at the Ursuline Centre. I've been at the Ursuline Centre for more than 10 years now. I began my relationship with the school first as a volunteer, which quickly led to a teaching position, and most recently being appointed the Preschool Director in 2012.
Every moment of the preschool year is filled with achievements, milestones and memories. Our biggest challenges are usually eclipsed by the successes. I am so fortunate to witness those times and share in their celebrations with students, their families and, of course the teaching staff.
This year, I am looking forward to more of those memories as I continue my second decade.
Tricia Sommer, Pre-Kindergarten Teacher
Hello! I’m Mrs. Sommer and this is my sixth year working here at the Ursuline Centre. I have my Associates degree in Early Childhood Development and have been teaching preschool for over twenty years. I have always loved being around little kiddos and enjoy preparing them for kindergarten. It is my hope and biggest goal, every year, to enrich my students’ lives and create a love of learning that will last their whole lives.
Crystal Dunn, Preschool Teacher
Hi! My name is Crystal Dunn and I am married to Carl. We have three children: two girls, Chantel and Morgan, and one boy, Sean. I grew up in Williston, ND. We moved to Great Falls just over three years ago and love it here. I enrolled my son in the Ursuline Centre preschool three years ago just after moving here. I loved it so much that I told my husband I was going to work at the Ursuline someday. And the next year I was hired as the aide in the three year-old program, and am now in my second year of teaching. I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful preschool program and staff. I feel we prepare these kids in every aspect of life: academically, socially and mentally. I feel that each child knows how much they are loved and cared for here and that we all want the very best for them. So, here’s to another great year! I am excited to see what this year and every year has in store for me as I continue my journey here at the Ursuline Centre.
