Every classroom and age band in your New Mexico program gets the complete curriculum, in English and Spanish, as soon as you register.
Watch a New Mexico teacher pull up today's lesson, check the early learning goal behind it and read ELBY's tip, all from a tablet.
Lessons for infants through pre-K, 52 weeks a year, in English and Spanish, with activities that build on each other as children grow.
We will tailor a demo to your New Mexico program: the ages you serve, your FOCUS star level and how your families pay for care.
Learning Beyond Paper brings everything a New Mexico classroom needs into one cloud-based curriculum: 52 weeks of lesson plans for five age bands, ELBY’s coaching in every activity, full English and Spanish content, family engagement and observational assessment tools, and 49.5 hours of on-demand professional development through LBP University.
LBP's New Mexico alignment maps every age band, from young infants to preschool, to the New Mexico Early Learning Guidelines: Birth through Kindergarten (2014). In 2026 ECECD published revised Early Learning Standards for birth through five that update those guidelines. Directors can use LBP's maps today and talk with our team about how the lessons connect to the new standards.
ELBY gives New Mexico teachers short, practical coaching right inside each lesson: how to adjust an activity for a child who needs more support or more challenge, and what to observe so progress notes are quick to write.
LBP University gives New Mexico teachers 49.5 hours of on-demand professional development with their subscription. It is separate from the 24 annual hours of ECECD-approved training licensing requires, and it helps teachers get more out of the curriculum between those trainings.
Each LBP lesson is tied to the New Mexico Early Learning Guidelines, so a director can see what every room is working on and share it with families or a FOCUS consultant. The plans are written down, organized by week and consistent across classrooms.
A growing workforce means new hires. An ECECD brief reports New Mexico's child care workforce grew 64% from 2019 to 2024. LBP gives each new teacher a written plan, a materials list and ELBY's coaching for every activity, so they can teach with confidence while they build experience.
Census survey data counts about 503,100 New Mexicans who speak Spanish at home, close to four in five of everyone who speaks a language other than English. LBP's lessons and family materials come in English and Spanish at no extra cost.
One yearly subscription covers every classroom in your New Mexico center, from infants to pre-K. No per-teacher fees and no extra charge as you add rooms for new enrollment.
Every classroom and age band in your New Mexico program gets the complete curriculum, in English and Spanish, as soon as you register.
A teacher signs in from a phone, tablet or laptop, picks the age band and week, and has the setup, the materials and ELBY's coaching tip in front of them. There is no printing and nothing to file.
LBP’s New Mexico alignment maps all five age bands, infant through pre-K, to the New Mexico Early Learning Guidelines: Birth through Kindergarten (2014). In 2026 ECECD published revised Early Learning Standards for birth through five that update those guidelines; talk with our team about how LBP lessons connect to the new standards. Every alignment document is on our curriculum alignments page.
FOCUS is ECECD’s tiered quality rating and improvement system, with verifications and consultation handled by the UNM Early Childhood Services Center. Programs enter at 2 Star, are expected to reach 3 Star within 24 months, and each verified star level raises the per-child subsidy rate. LBP does not award stars. It gives you written, guideline-mapped lesson plans, observation tools and coaching to bring into your continuous quality improvement work with your FOCUS consultant.
ECECD’s Child Care Services Bureau licenses New Mexico centers and family child care homes under 8.9.4 NMAC, and every licensed facility must keep a mission, philosophy and curriculum statement. LBP gives you a documented curriculum to describe in that statement and written plans for every room. It supports your records but does not replace any licensing requirement, so follow ECECD’s rules and your licensing staff’s guidance.
NM PreK is ECECD’s free program for three- and four-year-olds, offered in school-based and community-based settings, with play-based lessons across every area of development. NIEER reports that NM PreK uses a curriculum approval process, so check with your ECECD PreK contact before choosing LBP for a funded PreK classroom. LBP’s preschool and pre-K lessons are mapped to the New Mexico Early Learning Guidelines and can serve your other rooms either way.
Since November 1, 2025, New Mexico’s Universal Child Care has removed income limits and waived copays for eligible families, with ECECD paying licensed or registered providers. LBP does not change how you bill ECECD or what rate you receive. Infants and toddlers made up 36% of new enrollments in ECECD’s January 2026 brief; if you add an infant or toddler room, the same school-wide subscription covers it.
Not automatically. 8.9.4 NMAC requires center staff working more than 20 hours a week, including directors, to complete 24 hours of training a year, with at least four hours in infant and toddler care for educators in those rooms. Training must be ECECD-approved, and staff records live in PDIS, ECECD’s Professional Development Information System. LBP University’s 49.5 on-demand hours come with your subscription; check ECECD approval before counting a course. More on professional learning.
One yearly subscription gives school-wide access. Every classroom in your New Mexico center, infant through pre-K, is covered, along with ELBY, LBP University, English and Spanish content, and the family engagement and assessment tools. You will not pay per teacher or per room. Materials kits are available through Lakeshore Learning, and LBP offers grant-writing support for customers.
Yes. Spanish lesson content and family materials are part of every subscription. That matters in New Mexico, where Census survey data shows about 31% of residents age five and up speak a language other than English at home, most of them Spanish. LBP content is in English and Spanish only, so programs teaching Navajo or other Native languages will add their own language materials.
Sign up for 30 days free. Your entire New Mexico program gets access to every age band and every lesson from day one, so teachers can try real activities with children and directors can check the alignment maps. When the trial ends, you decide whether to start a yearly subscription, and nothing renews on its own.
Yes. ECECD licenses family child care homes for up to six children and also registers home providers, where one person may care for babies and preschoolers together. LBP has separate lessons for each age band, so a home provider can run the infant activity and the preschool activity side by side from one account. See our family child care page.
