SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel is leading a measure to set clear educational standards for individuals seeking to serve as child care directors, ensuring families across Illinois can trust that those overseeing the care and development of their children meet a consistent, high-quality benchmark of professional preparation.
“Every child deserves to be in the care of qualified, well-trained professionals,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “This bill does two important things: it sets the educational bar we expect of child care directors, and it ensures that day care centers are not left scrambling if they cannot immediately fill that role.”
SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel is leading a measure to ensure children who are deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind have equitable, inclusive access to early literacy development.
“Every student’s needs are unique, and by ensuring language education is accessible, we can make sure that educational barriers don’t leave students without key skills,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “This measure guarantees that every child receives equitable access to language development.”
ROMEOVILLE – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel will conduct traveling office hours at the White Oak Library District on Tuesday, April 28 so residents can provide input and get questions answered.
“It is vital that I make my office accessible to residents for help getting their questions answered,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “Traveling office hours are one way for my office to make sure that my legislation betters the community and improves residents’ lives.”
SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel advanced a measure that would let paraprofessionals with a short-term approval license become fully licensed after their short-term license expires.
“Paraprofessionals do a lot to help teachers,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “They provide important assistance for students’ instruction, behavior and personal care under the guidance of teachers and administrators.”
