I'm planning to go a technical college and take up Early Childhood Education so are there any resources I can look into so i'm a lil' prepared? I'm 25 and have been outta school awhile but I really want to do well in college and I live in Columbia South Carolina. Please no sarcastic answers. Thanks!

Congratulations for going back to school! You will not regret this decision.
I reccomend contacting the college and gathering the curriculum schedule for your program. I know this is a very exciting but nerve-racking time for you.
My dad went back to college when I was a sophomore in college and I remember what he went through. Rather than concentrate on what you can do to prepare, concentrate on how much better you will do in school now that you have matured and truely appreciate the value of an education!
You can try to get prepared but may find what you studied isn't covered in your classes. This isn't bad unless you are short on leisure time.
If you still want to research prior to the start of classes look for Trade Journal that concentrate on the subject of Early Childhood Education!
Example:Early Childhood Education Journal
Early Childhood Education Journal is a professional publication for early childhood practitioners, such as classroom teachers, child care providers, and teacher educators, all of whom are dedicated to the education and care of young children, ages birth through eight. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles covering curriculum, child care programs, administration, staff development, family-school relationships, equity issues, multicultural units, health nutrition, facilities, special needs, employer-sponsored care, infant/toddler programs, child development, advocacy, and more. Articles analyze issues, trends, policies, and practices, as well as offering well-documented points-of-view and practical recommendations.
This journal emphasizes international studies, educational programs in diverse settings, projects demonstrating inter-professional collaboration, qualitative and quantitative research and case studies, theory-research-and practice relating to professional development, family support, and community action programs.

I would start looking over some books on child psychology, latest techniques in teaching small children, articles on how to movtivate preschoolers, child development, children with disabilities, discipline methods for children etc. You will be aware of the latest things that most likely be taught in your classes.
