Owner
Ammie Shantell Hodges is the owner and founder of Tiny Treasures Learning Academy. Mrs. Hodges began the application process in January and was licensed by the state on June 19, 2019. TTLA was a vision Mrs. Hodges had because she wanted to serve children in the community and give them a foundation to prepare them for public education. She strongly believes children learn through play.
Children have always been a passion for Mrs. Hodges. She started her career in education after graduating from High School as a Substitute Teacher while working through college courses at Georgia Southern University. Mrs. Hodges graduated with a bachelor’s Degree in Child and Family Development in 2004. Mrs. Hodges later obtained a Master’s Degree in 2013 at Argosy University in Atlanta, majoring in Instructional Leadership. Tiny Treasures Learning Academy has a special meaning to Mrs. Hodges. She believes every child who enters TTLA doors are “Treasures” with their own unique characteristics.
