Granite State Programs Need a Curriculum That Holds Steady

New Hampshire leaves a lot to local choice. There is no statewide universal pre-K, Granite Steps for Quality is voluntary, and in 2026 new GSQ applications were paused after a state contract failed. What stays constant is the daily work: licensed staff need 12 hours of professional development a year, and every room needs a plan. LBP gives each classroom a year of lessons mapped to the NH Early Learning Standards, so planning keeps going whatever happens to state programs.

What New Hampshire Programs Get

New Hampshire centers and homes get a year of lesson plans for five age bands, an observational assessment tool, English and Spanish family materials, ELBY coaching inside each lesson and 49.5 hours of on-demand professional learning through LBP University, with every band mapped to the New Hampshire Early Learning Standards.

NH Early Learning Standards Mapping, Birth to Five

LBP publishes four New Hampshire alignment documents, for 0 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months, 25 to 36 months and 3 to 5 years, each mapped to the New Hampshire Early Learning Standards, Birth Through Five. DHHS publishes those standards, and they line up with the NH Kindergarten Readiness Indicators. Every band is aligned to the Head Start ELOF too.

ELBY — A Virtual Instructional Coach for Every Teacher

ELBY is built into each lesson and gives New Hampshire teachers practical prompts: a simpler step for a child who needs it, a harder one for a child who is ready, and what to observe and record.

Embedded Professional Development — 49.5 Hours Included

New Hampshire rules require 12 hours of professional development a year for program managers and child care staff. LBP University adds 49.5 hours of on-demand learning about the curriculum, included in your subscription.

Plans for Every New Hampshire Classroom

Infant, young toddler, older toddler, preschool and pre-K rooms in a New Hampshire program each get a weekly plan for their age, with one subscription covering all five.

Where LBP Helps New Hampshire Directors

New Hampshire directors are tracking a voluntary quality system in flux, yearly training rules and local preschool partnerships. Here are four places where an online curriculum makes the job lighter.

Groundwork for either GSQ pathway

Granite Steps for Quality programs choose a Pyramid Model or Environment Rating Scales pathway and move through four Quality Steps. LBP lists both the Pyramid Model and ITERS/ECERS among its alignments, so daily lessons reinforce the same social-emotional and environment practices your coach is working on.

Twelve hours a year, plus daily practice

Licensed New Hampshire programs track staff training in the NHCIS Professional Registry against a 12-hour annual minimum. Between courses, LBP's guided lessons and ELBY's tips let newer teachers build skills during the day.

Bilingual materials when families need them

Spanish is the most common language other than English spoken in New Hampshire homes, used by about a third of the roughly 109,100 residents who speak another language. LBP includes Spanish versions of every activity and family resource at no added cost.

One price for every room

New Hampshire programs use one yearly subscription for school-wide access, infants to pre-K, with no per-teacher fees and no separate preschool add-on.

How a New Hampshire Program Starts With LBP

From the first login to every room on the same plan, here is the usual path for a New Hampshire center or home.
Start with 30 free days

Every room in your New Hampshire program, from infants to pre-K, can use the full curriculum from the day you sign up.

Lessons load on any device

A teacher opens the platform on a tablet or phone, chooses the age group and sees today's activity, the materials and ELBY's coaching tip, ready to use indoors or on the playground.

Teaching builds your standards record
As classrooms work through lessons, each activity stays linked to the NH Early Learning Standards for its age band, and observation notes sit with each child. That record is ready for a Child Care Licensing Unit visit, a GSQ coach or a conversation with families.
Bring all your rooms in
The same yearly subscription covers every New Hampshire classroom you run. If you operate more than one site, our team can plan the rollout with you.

A Curriculum That Holds Steady in New Hampshire's Local System

New Hampshire runs early childhood through local choice rather than a single state program. DHHS licenses seven categories of child care, from family child care homes to group centers and nurseries, and its Bureau of Child Development and Head Start Collaboration runs the NH Child Care Scholarship Program and Granite Steps for Quality. Preschool is mostly local: NHED reports 144 public school preschool programs serving about 5,067 children in 2023-24, alongside Head Start and private providers. Quality funding has been uncertain. In mid-2026 the Executive Council declined a GSQ coaching contract, and the bureau paused new applications while it worked on a contingency plan. Learning Beyond Paper does not depend on any of those decisions. It gives directors a stable base: weekly plans mapped to the NH Early Learning Standards, observation tools and a lesson history in one place.

New Hampshire Directors' Common Questions

Answers for New Hampshire directors on the NH Early Learning Standards, GSQ, licensing, scholarships, preschool and training.

The New Hampshire Early Learning Standards, Birth Through Five, published by DHHS. LBP has a New Hampshire alignment document for each of its four bands: 0 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months, 25 to 36 months and 3 to 5 years. The standards align with the NH Kindergarten Readiness Indicators, and LBP lessons also align to the Head Start ELOF. Open the documents on our curriculum alignments page.

GSQ is New Hampshire’s voluntary Quality Recognition and Improvement System, with four Quality Steps and two main pathways, the Pyramid Model and the Environment Rating Scales. In June 2026, after the Executive Council did not approve a coaching contract, the bureau paused new GSQ applications. Check with DHHS for the current status. Whatever happens next, LBP lists the Pyramid Model and ITERS/ECERS among its alignments, so the curriculum supports the practices behind both pathways.

We do not claim they do. Under He-C 4002.32, program managers and child care staff complete 12 hours of professional development in their first year and every year after, with at least 3 in health and safety. Hours are tracked through the NHCIS Professional Registry. LBP University’s 49.5 on-demand hours of professional learning help teachers use the curriculum; ask the Child Care Licensing Unit before counting them.

The DHHS Child Care Licensing Unit inspects and monitors licensed programs, and the rules expect a written daily schedule showing what the curriculum includes. LBP gives each room a dated weekly plan, the activities behind the schedule and a record of what was taught, so it is easy to show a licensing specialist how learning is planned. The same record helps when families ask what their child did this week.

Yes. The NH Child Care Scholarship Program pays qualified providers on behalf of eligible families with children under 13, or through age 17 with a disability, and it is funded through the federal Child Care and Development Fund. Choosing LBP does not affect scholarship eligibility or payments, and we make no reimbursement promises. It gives every child in the room the same planned curriculum and family materials in English and Spanish.

Not as a statewide universal program. NHED describes a local, mixed delivery model of public school preschools, Head Start, private programs and family child care, with 144 public school preschool programs reported in 2023-24. Districts and community partners choose their own curriculum. LBP’s 3 to 5 alignment and pre-K plans give a private program a documented approach to bring to any district partnership.

One yearly subscription gives school-wide access. Every classroom from infants to pre-K is included, along with every teacher, ELBY, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, family engagement tools and English and Spanish content. There are no per-classroom or per-teacher fees. Materials kits are available through Lakeshore Learning, and LBP offers grant-writing support.

Yes. CCLU licenses both family child care homes and family group child care homes, where one educator often cares for babies, toddlers and preschoolers together. LBP’s five age bands let that educator plan for a mixed-age group from one login, and family materials come in English and Spanish. Our family child care page has more.

Yes, at no extra cost. Census figures compiled by USAFacts show about 109,100 New Hampshire residents age 5 and older spoke a language other than English at home in 2024, and Spanish was the most common, at about a third of them. The NH Early Learning Standards include a section on dual language learners, and LBP’s English and Spanish activities and family materials help teachers put it into practice.
