Thank you for sponsoring the Forest Schools for Illinois bill for the 2020 legislative session. It is of utmost importance that the state amend the Illinois Child Care Act of 1969 and allow DCFS to create licensing standards for outdoor preschools in Illinois. Our preschool-age children deserve outdoor education options, and our state must act now to make this possible. Your support of this bill will improve the mental, physical, and academic well-being of generations of Illinois children.
Why is this important?
Senator Ram Villivalam and Representative Will Guzzardi have agreed to sponsor the Forest Schools for Illinois bill in the state Senate and House. We're so glad to have these progressive champions fight to bring outdoor preschools to Illinois!
