Karin Slabaugh
Karin has worked with children ages 3 months to 3 years in Montessori environments and has more recently focused on newborn observation.
She collaborated with Lupita Alvarez to create this non-profit organization, Montessori For Life with the mission to offer parents, caregivers and healthcare professionals ideas of how to apply Montessori Core Values with newborns and the youngest children, with elderly persons who have cognitive decline and dementia and for anyone who is fragile.
Karin traveled to India in 2009 for the International Montessori Congress: it’s theme was Sadhana - daily activities that are done in repetition and produce deep concentration - peace in action. She presented a poster at the 2013 Congress on the History of Birth to 3 Montessori in Italy and at the 2017 Congress she gave a Breakout Session on the work of Grazia Honegger Fresco’s article: The Cosmic Task of 0-3. While in India, Karin toured the Theosophical Society where Montessori offered courses and in Rome she has been researching the historic sites where Montessori lived and worked. Her curiosity for the original Montessori 0-3 has brought her to Italy where she now lives in order to devote herself to working for the newborn which Montessori called “education from birth as a help to life.”
Karin offers courses, presentations and workshops offering an understanding of how to respect the basic needs of the most fragile people.
