It was apparent that she understood the necessity to be sensitive to each student's individual stage of development and provided educational challenges for all levels of learning enjoyment." - Principal
"Our son is very shy and rather than see this as an impediment to his success in school, Ms. Rambaran helped Andrew to understand that what he thought and had to say was important even though not everyone understood his perspective. Her constant feedback created a secure environment in which Andrew felt safe enough to express his own ideas." - Parent
