Loring Nagle, Educational Director

Wellspring Loring pointing
Loring was called to Wellspring to share her passion and dedication for educating and nurturing the whole child. An early childhood educator at heart, she brings ten years of teaching experience to our community in an active embrace of the holistic approach and its true respect for the treasure of childhood.

Loring is excited to join a wonderfully dedicated group of families on this journey as a passionate, enthusiastic nurturer, environmentalist, problem solver, peace keeper and appreciator of the individual child. As a children’s yoga instructor (interests in art therapy, multiculturalism, Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and environmental sustainability) Loring tenderly honors what each soul brings so honestly to our shared educational space.
