Default Getting started

Hi guys! So I'm new at both this forum and Early years in general. I am actually really interested in taking the courses but I just dont know where to start!

I'm 19 and this year I was working in france for Eurocamp, I wasnt a child courier but I did join in with the kids clubs, I did face painting, dressed up as mascots, taught different songs, dances and games for ages 3-5. 2013 I want to go to CCUSA for the summer, again working with children I think 6-16/17

So working with children doesn't worry me, I just really am clueless as to where to start =/

the absolute best way is a full time course, do the level 2 first where you learn child development legislation and theory then you refine this in the A level equivalent the level 3. apply now for next september then you can go away for the summer. or you can do the level 2 quickly then the 3 but i would counsel against going straight to 3 as you miss so much and it is always apparent when you work
