"Hello, I am Mrs. Gaines, and I was raised and have been a resident of Riverside, CA, for more than 30 years. I married Michael for 20 years, and we have four beautiful children. Mattie, Isaac, Kylani, and Michael Jr. 12. I have completed preschool certification and am currently working on her bachelor's degree.

My love of teaching led me to teach in a church and a professional setting. I have been teaching at Anderson's Playschool under the direction of Jeanette Anderson for ten years. Recently, we have successfully helped our students in teaching our classes virtually. Even during recent pandemic events, I have assisted Mrs. Anderson in tutoring 4th to 12th-grade students.

I believe education and music are essential and strive to educate and love each child that comes across their path. There is a teachable moment, no matter where you go. I want to change the world, one child at a time."

Sincerely,

Mrs. Gaines
