Extensive experience working with children of all ability levels has shown the advantage of having a structured learning environment that allows children to learn at their own pace. Ms. Wicklund believes many children experience difficulty learning as a result of forcing them to conform to a learning situation that does not adequately meet their learning styles and needs. The Montessori approach meets those learning needs and she is "thrilled to be involved in an educational organization such as Quad City Montessori School".
