Learning Beyond Paper combines a cloud-based early childhood curriculum with a virtual instructional coach. New Jersey centers get weekly plans for five age bands, Spanish and English materials, family engagement tools, an observational assessment tool and LBP University, 49.5 hours of on-demand professional learning, all under one subscription.
LBP lists New Jersey alignment documents for four age bands. Infant and toddler lessons follow the New Jersey Birth to Three Early Learning Standards, including their young infant and older infant stages, and lessons for 3- to 5-year-olds follow the 2014 Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards. The same lessons also map to the Head Start ELOF, useful for blended programs.
Inside each lesson, ELBY suggests how to make the activity easier for a child who needs help, how to push further for a child who is ready, and what is worth noting while children work.
New Jersey teachers get LBP University, 49.5 hours of on-demand professional learning built into the platform. It shows them how to run the curriculum well, next to the staff development New Jersey's licensing rules already require each year.
Grow NJ Kids is a site-level rating built on a self-assessment, a quality improvement plan and evidence uploaded to NJCCIS. LBP's lesson history and observation notes give you curriculum and assessment documentation to work from, room by room.
New Jersey asks lead staff for 20 hours of staff development a year and other staff for 12. LBP's guided lessons and ELBY's prompts help teachers put those sessions into practice the next morning.
About one in three New Jerseyans age 5 and older speaks a language other than English at home, and more than half of them speak Spanish. LBP's Spanish and English activities and family resources come with every subscription.
One yearly subscription covers every New Jersey classroom in your center, infants through pre-K, without per-teacher or per-room fees.
Every classroom in your New Jersey center, from the infant room to pre-K, can open the full curriculum on day one.
On a phone or tablet, a teacher chooses their age group, reviews this week's activities and materials, reads ELBY's tip and gets the group moving.
Two documents. Lessons for infants and toddlers follow the New Jersey Birth to Three Early Learning Standards, published by the New Jersey Council for Young Children, and lessons for 3- to 5-year-olds follow the 2014 Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards from the NJDOE Division of Early Childhood Services. LBP lists New Jersey alignment documents for four age bands on our curriculum alignments page, and every lesson also maps to the Head Start ELOF.
Grow NJ Kids rates a whole site, not single classrooms. Centers complete a self-assessment and a quality improvement plan with a technical assistance specialist, are observed with the Environment Rating Scales, and upload evidence to NJCCIS for the rating team. LBP gives each room written plans, observation notes and family materials you can draw on for that evidence. It does not award stars; your rating depends on the full set of standards.
Centers caring for six or more children are licensed by the Department of Children and Families, Office of Licensing, under the Manual of Requirements for Child Care Centers. LBP gives every room a written daily plan suited to its age group and a record of the activities completed, which helps when a licensing inspector asks how you plan. Meeting the licensing rules remains your center’s responsibility; LBP supports the planning side.
New Jersey calls these blended programs: a licensed center that contracts with a school district for public preschool or houses Head Start classrooms. The contracted classrooms follow the comprehensive curriculum named in the district’s preschool plan. LBP is a natural fit for the rest of the building, your infant, toddler and privately funded preschool rooms, so those teachers get standards-mapped plans, coaching and family materials on one platform.
Yes. The Child Care Assistance Program, overseen by the Department of Human Services’ Division of Family Development, helps lower-income families who are working, in training or in school pay part of their child care. Families on assistance and private-pay families get the same LBP lessons, Spanish and English family materials and observation tools. Choosing LBP does not change how assistance is authorized or paid, so your current billing routine stays as it is.
We do not claim it counts automatically. New Jersey requires 12 hours of staff development a year for all center staff and 20 for directors, head teachers, group teachers and program supervisors, in clock hours related to the ages served. The rules let centers provide training themselves or through other sources, so ask your licensing contact whether LBP University’s 49.5 hours of on-demand learning fit your staff development plan.
One yearly subscription gives school-wide access. Every New Jersey classroom from infants to pre-K is included, along with every teacher, ELBY coaching, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, family engagement tools and Spanish and English content. No per-teacher or per-classroom charges apply, and customers can ask about grant-writing support.
Yes, in every subscription. In 2024 about 3.08 million New Jerseyans age 5 and older, roughly one in three, spoke a language other than English at home, and Spanish was the most common at about 1.61 million speakers. Every LBP activity and family resource comes in Spanish and English, so teachers can share the week’s learning in the language a family uses at home.
Yes. The 30-day free trial opens every age band to every classroom in your New Jersey center. Try it in the infant room and a preschool room in the same week, check the standards on each activity, and watch how ELBY supports a newer teacher. If it works for you, continue with a yearly subscription.
Yes. Agencies running several New Jersey sites get the same lessons, coaching and standards mapping at each location, which keeps quality steady when staff move between buildings. Because every lesson also maps to the Head Start ELOF, Head Start and Early Head Start teams can plan alongside child care rooms. Read more on our Head Start page.
