Give your preschool teachers 52 weeks of standards-aligned, play-based lessons — accessible on any device, with built-in coaching and professional development — for one flat price that covers your whole school.
State standards, licensing reviews, Head Start monitoring visits, and parent expectations have never been higher for preschool programs. And yet most preschool classrooms are still running on paper curriculum kits that arrive in boxes, get shelved after the first week, and give teachers no real guidance when they need it most.
Learning Beyond Paper gives preschool directors a curriculum that works in the real world; documented, aligned, accessible, and supported by a virtual instructional coach that travels with every teacher.
Watch how preschool teachers navigate LBP and access lesson plans on any device — without binders, printing, or lengthy prep time.
See the full 52-week scope of play-based lessons designed for children ages 3 to 4 years — STEAM, literacy, social-emotional learning, and more.

Learning Beyond Paper is the only cloud-based preschool curriculum that combines a full year of play-based lesson plans, real-time coaching, bilingual content, and 49.5 hours of embedded professional development — all under one monthly price.
Every preschool lesson in LBP is aligned to state early learning standards and developed by experienced early childhood educators. Activities span literacy, STEAM, social-emotional learning, and school readiness — all delivered through intentional, play-based instruction.
ELBY is built into every preschool lesson — giving teachers in-the-moment guidance on adapting activities for the range of abilities in a three-and-four-year-old classroom, documenting observations, and connecting lessons to school readiness goals.
LBP includes 49.5 hours of professional development built directly into the preschool curriculum. Teachers grow as they teach — learning best practices in literacy instruction, STEAM facilitation, and classroom management without giving up personal time for training.
When every lesson is already aligned to state standards and documented automatically in the platform, preparing for licensing reviews and program assessments becomes a normal part of daily operations — not a last-minute scramble.
The average preschool teacher in the US is young and relatively inexperienced. LBP gives them a complete daily plan, step-by-step guidance, and ELBY coaching so they can teach with confidence from the very first week — not the tenth.
When preschool teachers can tell parents exactly what their child worked on today, which skill it supports, and how they observed progress — parents trust the program. That trust reduces turnover and drives referrals.
Whether you run one preschool room or ten, LBP keeps every classroom aligned. All teachers access the same curriculum, ELBY coaching is consistent, and directors have visibility into what's happening across every room.
No credit card required. Your whole school gets access immediately — preschool rooms and every other age group all in one subscription.
A preschool teacher opens Week 1 on her phone, reads the activity setup and ELBY's coaching tip, and starts teaching. The whole process from login to lesson takes less than two minutes.
The preschool curriculum is designed for children ages 3 to 4 years. This is the stage when children begin transitioning from parallel play to cooperative play, develop early literacy and numeracy skills, and start building the school readiness foundations they will need in kindergarten. All lessons are calibrated to this developmental window — intentional, play-based, and appropriately challenging for three and four-year-olds.
Yes. Every preschool lesson in Learning Beyond Paper is aligned to all 50 state early learning standards, the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, and CLASS indicators. Alignment is tracked automatically within the platform — teachers do not need to document standards manually, and directors can demonstrate compliance during licensing reviews or program monitoring visits without needing a separate documentation system.
Learning Beyond Paper is 100% digital and cloud-based, while Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum and Frog Street are primarily paper-based systems that have added digital components. LBP is also significantly more affordable — at $199 per month school-wide, it costs a fraction of what most traditional preschool curriculum systems charge per year. Teachers access LBP on any device and receive real-time coaching from ELBY, which paper-based systems cannot replicate.
School readiness is woven into the preschool curriculum across every domain — early literacy, number sense, social-emotional development, executive function, and physical development. Activities in the final weeks of the curriculum specifically target the skills that kindergarten teachers and school readiness assessments measure, giving preschool directors confidence that children are leaving their program prepared for the transition ahead.
Yes. Learning Beyond Paper is aligned to the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF) and CLASS indicators, making it an excellent fit for Head Start preschool programs. The platform’s documentation features make it straightforward to gather evidence of standards alignment for federal monitoring visits, and the bilingual English and Spanish content supports the diverse populations that Head Start programs typically serve.
LBP is $199 per month for school-wide access — covering every classroom from infant through pre-k. The preschool curriculum is not sold separately; it is part of the complete platform. This single price includes ELBY coaching, 49.5 hours of embedded professional development, bilingual content, and standards alignment tracking. There are no per-teacher fees, no add-on modules, and no long-term contract required.
Yes. A free 30-day trial is available with no credit card required. Your full school gets access during the trial, including all preschool classrooms. Programs partnering through ProCare Software may qualify for a 90-day trial period.
Classrooms with both three and four-year-olds are common in preschool programs, and LBP is designed for this reality. ELBY provides differentiation guidance within each lesson — suggestions for simplifying an activity for a younger or less experienced child and for extending it for a child who is ready for more challenge. This makes individualized instruction practical for everyday preschool teachers, not just curriculum specialists.
Yes. Bilingual English and Spanish content is included in every LBP subscription at no additional cost. For preschool programs serving Spanish-speaking families — which includes a significant portion of Head Start and community childcare programs — this is a meaningful feature that helps teachers communicate with all families and supports the language development of dual-language learners.
There is no automatic billing at the end of the 30-day trial. You choose whether to subscribe at $199 per month. If you do, all of your teachers retain their access and the curriculum continues exactly where you left off. If you decide not to continue, your account simply closes — no fees, no penalties, no pressure.
