Nothing works 100% for everyone, but here are tips to make you a better student.
Listen in class and ask questions.
Take notes in class...do not worry about their neatness. After class, rewrite your notes neatly. Rewriting notes will help you remember. While rewriting, if you have problems remembering anything (don't understand your oringinal notes) ask you teacher about it in class the next day.
Don't only study your notes the night before a test. Look over all your notes every day.
Hope this helps.

In a public school you will need a teacher certification - which will require a BA and student teaching. During student teaching you will receive no income for 16 weeks unless you work nights (VERY difficult during student teaching). States offer different options for the certification. Some offer Early Childhood Ed which is birth through age 8 (third grade) that would let you teach K, but some only offer Elementary (K-6). Both are different than the degree in Child & Family Development that many schools offer. While it also trains you to work with young children, it does NOT certify you to teach above preschool.
Another option is to find out if any of your local public schools offer a preschool program on-site. Its a growing trend and many schools are piloting preschool programs. Not sure if they would require you to be degreed or certified, but you get the same benefits as a public school teacher and would most likely earn quite a bit more than you do now.
I would suggest contacting a school and asking to "shadow" a K teacher for a day to see what a typical work day is like. Mention to them that you work in early childhood ed as a preschool teacher and are considering pursuing teacher certification. I assume that you are required by your preschool to have a criminal background check and TB test on file. You might mention this to them as their volunteers & employees must have these.
Also, some larger preschools offer tuition reimbursement for teachers intending to become degreed or certified. If yours does not, there are also several scholarships from ECE professional organizations at the state and national level that might help you with the financial aspect of continued schooling. Best of luck!

I think you should find out what type of learner you are, your school should be able to help you with that. Some students are verbal, auditory, visual learners or combinations of them. Once you know how you learn the best, you will find things will come back to you. Take time and actually study, and review your notes from the past to keep the selection in your brain. The information is probably in there you just need to know how to recall it.
Your school should allow you to bring a tape recorder, laptop, whatever you need to benefit your studies.
Good luck
