HELDS-Aligned Lessons for Every Keiki in Your Care

Hawaii is adding public pre-K classrooms under Ready Keiki, Preschool Open Doors now reaches two-year-olds, and DHS licensing asks each center director to describe how daily activities support every area of a child’s development. A curriculum tied to HELDS answers that question in writing every day, without anyone building lesson plans from scratch on a Sunday night.

Everything Hawaii Programs Receive

Learning Beyond Paper is the only all-in-one cloud-based early childhood curriculum with a virtual instructional coach. Hawaii programs receive 52 weeks of plans for five age bands, more than 4,000 activities, an observational assessment tool, family engagement resources in English and Spanish, 49.5 hours of on-demand learning in LBP University, and alignment to HELDS.

HELDS Alignment From Birth to Five

HELDS describes what children from birth through age five typically know and can do as they develop. LBP lists Hawaii alignment documents for its infant, young toddler, older toddler and 3- to 5-year-old bands, built on EOEL's 2014 HELDS continuum, so each lesson points to the indicator it supports.

ELBY Coaches Hawaii Teachers Inside Each Activity

ELBY gives Hawaii teachers quick guidance right where they need it: an easier version of the activity for a child who is still building a skill, a harder one for a child who is ready, and notes on what to watch for while children play.

49.5 Hours of LBP University, Built In

LBP University gives Hawaii teachers 49.5 hours of on-demand professional learning inside the platform at no extra charge. It teaches staff how to run the curriculum, alongside the department-approved training hours DHS already requires each year.

Five Age Bands, One Hawaii Subscription

From infants to pre-K, every classroom in your Hawaii program gets weekly plans written for its age group, all included in one school-wide price.

Four Ways LBP Supports Hawaii Directors

Hawaii directors are writing program descriptions for DHS, logging 16 training hours per caregiver each year, welcoming families who use Preschool Open Doors and serving keiki from many language backgrounds. These are the places LBP lightens the load.

Your program description, in practice

DHS asks licensed center directors for a brief written description of program goals and how daily activities meet children's physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. LBP's HELDS-aligned weekly plans show that in practice, classroom by classroom.

Coaching that complements the 16 hours

Hawaii caregivers complete at least 16 hours of department-approved training a year across topics such as learning activities and play. ELBY's coaching inside each lesson helps them use that training with children every day.

Respect for every home language

Hawaii's licensing rules ask providers to respect each child's primary language or dialect, and one in four residents speaks a language other than English at home. LBP includes English and Spanish versions of every lesson and family resource; teachers can add island languages and stories to any activity.

A single price for the whole center

Hawaii programs use one yearly subscription for every classroom, infants through pre-K. No per-teacher fees and no extra curriculum to buy for older or younger groups.

Extend it to every room
Your yearly subscription opens every classroom in your Hawaii center. With sites on more than one island, our team can help you roll it out.

A Steady Curriculum as Hawaii Expands Early Learning

Early learning in Hawaii is growing quickly. EOEL’s public prekindergarten program, run with the Department of Education, served up to 2,275 children in 117 classrooms in 2025-2026, and the Ready Keiki goal set under Act 46 and Act 210 is to reach every unserved 3- and 4-year-old by 2032, honoring both Hawaiian-language and English pathways. DHS has opened Preschool Open Doors to two-year-olds for 2026-2027, with families choosing from 389 licensed preschools and group child care homes. Community programs are a big part of that picture. Learning Beyond Paper helps them keep curriculum steady with HELDS-aligned lessons for every age, CLASS® keys and Teaching Strategies GOLD® objectives on each activity, and observation records kept in one place.

Hawaii Directors' Questions, Answered

What Hawaii directors ask us about HELDS, DHS licensing, Preschool Open Doors, public pre-K and training hours.

Yes. LBP lists Hawaii alignment documents for its 0 to 12 month, 13 to 24 month, 25 to 36 month and 3 to 5 year bands, mapped to the Hawaii Early Learning and Development Standards. HELDS covers birth through age five, and the crosswalks use EOEL’s 2014 HELDS continuum. All lessons also align to the Head Start ELOF. The documents are on our curriculum alignments page.

The DHS Child Care Licensing Program, part of the Benefit, Employment and Support Services Division, licenses group child care centers, group homes, infant and toddler centers and before and after school programs, and registers family child care homes. Center rules ask directors for a written description of program goals and how daily activities support development. LBP’s age-based weekly plans and activity records show exactly that, room by room.

Yes. Preschool Open Doors is DHS tuition assistance for eligible two- to four-year-olds, with maximum monthly rates of $1,500 for accredited programs and $1,200 for licensed programs in 2026-2027, and PATCH helps families apply. Choosing LBP does not change a family’s eligibility or your rate, and we make no reimbursement promises. It gives POD children and their classmates the same HELDS-aligned lessons and family materials.

EOEL’s public prekindergarten classrooms sit on Department of Education campuses, receive CLASS observations twice a year and use Teaching Strategies GOLD for child assessment. Every LBP activity carries CLASS® keys and GOLD® objectives, which helps community preschools and Head Start partners that use the same tools speak a common language with schools as children move on to kindergarten.

Yes. Hawaii’s child care subsidy program helps low-income families pay for care with DHS-approved providers, and many programs serve subsidy and private-pay families side by side. LBP gives all of them one shared curriculum, observation tools and English and Spanish family resources, so every child in the room gets the same planned learning.

We do not claim they do. Hawaii rules require each caregiver in group centers, group homes and registered family child care homes to complete at least 16 hours of department-approved training a year, in at least two topic areas such as child growth and development or learning activities and play. LBP University’s 49.5 hours of professional learning strengthen curriculum skills, but ask DHS licensing before you count them.

School-wide access comes with one yearly subscription. Every classroom in your Hawaii program is included, from infants to pre-K, along with ELBY, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, family engagement resources and HELDS alignment. You will not pay per teacher or per classroom, and LBP offers grant-writing support for customers.

English and Spanish, for every lesson and family resource. About one in four Hawaii residents age 5 and older speaks a language other than English at home, most often Ilocano, Samoan, Hawaiian or another Austronesian language, then Tagalog and Japanese. DHS rules ask providers to respect each child’s primary language or dialect, and teachers can bring families’ own words, songs and stories into any LBP activity.

Yes, 30 days of full access. Open it to every classroom in your Hawaii program at once, so your infant and toddler teachers and your preschool team can each test the HELDS-aligned plans. If you would like a guided tour first, book a demo and we will walk through it together.

Yes. Hawaii licenses infant and toddler child care centers under their own rules, and three of LBP’s five age bands are built for children under three: infants, young toddlers and older toddlers. Each band has its own weekly plans and HELDS alignment, with care routines and play at the center. Family child care homes with mixed ages can use the same login, as our family child care page explains.
