Meet Danielle Ganze!

Virginia Director of Business Development and Partnerships

Danielle first fell in love with early childhood education while working hands-on with young learners in classrooms across Virginia. Today, she channels that passion into supporting educators every step of the way as they implement the Learning Beyond curriculum and uphold CLASS and VQB5 standards. When she’s not working, Danielle enjoys spending time with her own “early learners” and watching them explore the world around them.


Learning Beyond Paper is an VDOE-approved, fully digital curriculum designed for Infants through Pre-K. It aligns with CLASS®, Head Start, and Virginia's VQB5's quality standards and early learning guidelines, supporting high-quality instruction and continuous improvement.

Learning Beyond Paper is committed to providing affordable, high-quality early learning curriculum that nurtures each child's growth, prepares them for kindergarten, and empowering teachers with the tools and resources they need to create meaningful, engaging learning experiences.

  • Administrative Efficiency

    Shared services can handle common administrative functions, such as: payroll, human resources, purchasing, and financial management. Additionally, providers save time by the streamlined provision of digital curriculum, assessment, and professional development. This centralization reduces duplication of effort and can lead to cost savings and more streamlined processes.

  • Quality Improvement

    By joining a shared service organization, providers can access higher quality resources and training programs for their staff. This can include digital resources, such as:  curriculum, professional development, and support in your state's QRIS, quality initiatives, and state standards.

  • Purchasing Power

  • Shared Knowledge and Best Practices

    As a partner with shared services, Learning Beyond Paper can foster a community among users for dynamic engagement that enhances our digital solutions in real-time to meet users' unique and evolving needs. This collaboration can significantly impact and enhance educational practices - from the director to the teacher to the child to the family. 

  • Save Time & Money

    Learning Beyond Paper saves directors and teachers precious time. With 52 weeks of lesson plans, more than 4,000 daily activities in a developmental progression, built-in on-boarding, professional development, training, teacher support videos, Spanish and more, directors and teachers save time. Teachers alone save an average of 3 hours per week.

  • Retain Your Workforce

    Happy and supported teachers stay longer. Learning Beyond Paper is committed to building teacher capacity and supporting teacher autonomy. By providing resources right at their fingertips, early childhood educators are supported in real-time. Robust teacher resources provide the "why" behind every activity and encourage high-quality teacher-child interactions. We meet teachers where they are, tailoring professional development to meet their individual needs.

To gauge the effectiveness of our training, we conduct comprehensive assessments before and after each course, confirming that our programs deliver measurable enhancements in teaching quality.   Learning Beyond Paper courses are IMPACT approved.
