ReTURN to FUNdamentals
Panhandle Pathways Teacher Academy (PPTA) recognizes that traditional training methods often seem like one more "thing" you must do.
That is why PPTA is dedicated to ensuring that relationship-based training engages the heart, mind, and essence of the early childhood teacher.
PPTA's purpose is to promote a ReTURN to Early Childhood FUNdamentals where play-based teaching strategies and intentional classroom practices create calm from chaos while preparing children for school success and a life-long love of learning.
