Welcome to Kindergarden

Room C-3

Welcome to our class page. Here you will find important information about our class and how to contact me in case you need to communicate with me.
My name is Miriam Gaitan. I have the priviledge to be your child's teacher for the 2025-2026 school year. Together, we are going to help your student to have a lot of fun during their learning journey. Our goal in kinder is to give each child the tools needed to build a strong academic foundation while fostering a love for school and learning. I look forward to a year of growth, discovery, and excitement. Can't wait to meet you. 

About Me:

I gradutated with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies and Teaching Credential from CSUSB. I have been part of the Etiwanda family since 2005 and have had the opportunity of being part of Perdew staff since it opened its doors in 2007. I am blessed to be able to do what I love and call it work. I am married and have three children. At the beginning of this year, I experienced the joy of becoming a grandma! When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching my son's baseball games, and serving at a local church in our community.

Some of my favorite things:

  • Color: Yellow, black and white

  • Fast food: Chick Fil-a, In n Out

  • Drink: Cherry Coke Zero, Starbucks coffee/tea

  • Have your child bring their Black Communication Folder to school daily.

  • Please check your child's black folder every day and empty it every Friday.
