52 weeks of research-backed, developmentally appropriate lessons (from Infant through Pre-K 4) accessible on any device, supported by a virtual instructional coach, and backed by 49.5 hours of embedded professional development. One flat price for your whole school.
Learning Beyond Paper was built by educators who understand the daily realities of early learning programs. Instead of binders and disconnected resources, everything teachers need lives in one platform; on the phone in their pocket, ready before the first child walks through the door.
No printing, no prep meetings, no boxes arriving from a warehouse. Just a clear, developmentally appropriate plan for every classroom, every age group, every day of the year.
Learning Beyond Paper includes 52 weeks of developmentally appropriate lesson plans and more than 4,000 hands-on, play-based activities for children from Infants (0–12 months) through Pre-Kindergarten 4 (4–5 years). Every activity is intentionally designed so children learn through exploration, movement, conversation, creativity, and joyful discovery — while teachers can easily adapt lessons to meet the needs of each individual child.
The curriculum covers all core early childhood development domains: early literacy and language, STEAM exploration, social-emotional learning, gross and fine motor development, cognitive skills, and family engagement. Aligned to all 50 state early learning standards, Head Start ELOF, and CLASS® indicators, it is the only cloud-based early childhood curriculum built to serve every classroom from a single platform.
Formative assessment and play observations are at the heart of understanding children’s progress. Teachers can observe, document, and reflect on children’s play interactions and developmental milestones — then use those insights to intentionally plan next steps. These tools promote individualized learning and stronger partnerships with families.
Professional learning is integrated throughout the curriculum to help teachers strengthen instructional practice and build confidence in the classroom. Each component includes clear guidance, modeling, and implementation support so educators understand not only what to teach, but how and why it matters for children’s growth and development. Through ongoing resources, reflection opportunities, and aligned training content, teachers are supported in delivering high-quality instruction, deepening their expertise, and maintaining consistency across learning environments.
Our approach to early literacy is grounded in the Science of Reading and delivered through rich, play-based language experiences. Children build strong foundations in:
Learning Beyond Paper supports children from infancy through pre-kindergarten with developmentally appropriate lessons that grow with each learner.
Infants grow, change, and discover at an incredible pace during their first year. Every child develops on their own timeline, and Learning Beyond gives teachers the tools to meet each baby right where they are. Every moment is filled with rich sensory exploration, gentle routines, and meaningful interactions that spark early development. At the heart of every experience is a caring relationship that nurtures trust, fosters curiosity, and supports each infant’s unique journey of growth.
Between 12 and 24 months, young toddlers are full of energy, eager to move, explore, and express themselves as they take early steps toward independence. Learning Beyond provides teachers with engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that meet toddlers at every stage, while offering clear guidance to support each child’s individual growth. With consistent routines, hands-on learning, and relationship-based care, teachers nurture social-emotional skills, language, and growing confidence. Every moment becomes an opportunity to guide discovery, encourage independence, and build strong foundations for learning.
“I’m 2 now!” From 24 to 36 months, older toddlers grow more independent as they explore, try new things, get messy, and even learn how to clean up. Every choice, behavior, and experience becomes a chance to learn — with logical consequences and supportive guidance helping them build confidence. The “I” is strong as toddlers form friendships, strengthen relationships with teachers and caregivers, and develop more advanced language to express their growing world. Learning Beyond empowers teachers with practical ways to scaffold learning, build knowledge through meaningful interactions, and offer choices that help toddlers grow, explore, and thrive.
Three-year-olds are full of curiosity, eager to solve problems, try new ideas, and ask “why” at every turn. Learning Beyond helps teachers serve as strong role models, offering guidance, encouragement, and thoughtful questions as children work through challenges and discoveries. As children stay actively engaged, they build skills across all areas of development while gaining confidence as independent learners. With clear quarterly benchmarks, Learning Beyond keeps teachers focused on meaningful, age-appropriate growth while nurturing joyful, curious learners every day.
