Learning Beyond Paper is the only all-in-one cloud-based early childhood curriculum with a virtual instructional coach. Indiana centers, homes and ministries get a year of plans for five age bands, over 4,000 activities, English and Spanish family materials, an observational assessment tool and 49.5 hours of LBP University, with every band crosswalked to the Indiana Early Learning Foundations.
LBP publishes four Indiana crosswalks covering 0 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months, 25 to 36 months and 3 to 5 years, mapped to the Indiana Early Learning Foundations, 2015 edition. They follow the Foundations' own age groups, from Infant, Younger Toddler and Older Toddler to Younger and Older Preschool, across domains such as English/language arts, math, science, social studies, creative arts and social-emotional development.
Inside each lesson, ELBY gives Indiana teachers a quick nudge: how to make an activity easier for a child who is still building a skill, how to add challenge for one who is ready, and what to note while watching.
LBP University's 49.5 hours of on-demand courses come with every Indiana subscription. New staff learn the curriculum while they use it, and veteran teachers can refresh their practice between OECOSL-approved trainings.
Paths to QUALITY defines Level Three as a planned curriculum that guides child development and school readiness. LBP gives every room a dated weekly plan tied to Indiana indicators and a record of activities completed, ready to walk through with your Paths to QUALITY coach.
Since 2025, Indiana centers may group children from 6 weeks to 36 months in one classroom at a 1:5 ratio with no more than 12 children. LBP's infant, younger toddler and older toddler bands let one teacher plan for that whole range from the same screen.
About one in 9 Hoosiers age 5 and older speak a language other than English at home, and Spanish accounts for just over half of them. Every LBP activity and family resource comes in Spanish and English at no extra cost.
One yearly subscription covers your whole Indiana program, infants through pre-K, with no fees per teacher or per room and a single renewal.
Your Indiana program gets the complete curriculum for every age band as soon as you create the account.
An Indiana teacher logs in on a phone or tablet, chooses the class and has the activity, the materials and ELBY's coaching note in front of them, at the table or on the playground.
It can cover the curriculum part. Paths to QUALITY has four levels, and Level Three is defined as a planned curriculum that guides child development and school readiness; Level Four is national accreditation. LBP gives each classroom written weekly plans for its age band, tied to Indiana indicators, plus a record of activities and observations. Your level is still decided through the Paths to QUALITY process, and we make no promise about a rating.
LBP’s four Indiana crosswalks (0 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months, 25 to 36 months and 3 to 5 years) map to the Indiana Early Learning Foundations, 2015 edition, using the Foundations’ Infant, Younger Toddler, Older Toddler and Younger and Older Preschool indicators. All bands also align to the Head Start ELOF. See the documents on our curriculum alignments page.
On My Way Pre-K pays for free pre-K for 4-year-olds whose families are at or below 135% of the federal poverty level and working, in school or in job training, at approved schools, centers, ministries and licensed homes. For 2026-27, children must be 4 by August 1, 2026. Check your provider agreement for curriculum expectations before you switch. LBP’s 3-to-5 band gives pre-K rooms a full year of planned lessons and observation tools.
Yes. Under Indiana’s 2025 changes, licensed centers may group children from 6 weeks to 36 months in one classroom with a 1:5 ratio and a group of no more than 12. LBP has separate plans for infants, younger toddlers and older toddlers, so a teacher can run age-matched activities side by side. Center and home rules are being rewritten again in 2026, so confirm current requirements with your licensing consultant.
CCDF vouchers are managed by OECOSL, and new applicants currently join a waitlist, with priority for On My Way Pre-K applicants and families below the federal poverty level, among others. Voucher eligibility and payments stay between families, your program and OECOSL. What LBP adds is the same planned curriculum, family materials in two languages and observation tools in every room, so children on vouchers get the same planned day as their classmates.
We do not claim they do. Indiana’s ongoing training has to be approved by OECOSL; unlicensed CCDF providers and registered ministries, for example, need 12 approved hours a year. LBP University’s 49.5 hours of on-demand professional learning come with your subscription and help teachers use the curriculum well. Check OECOSL’s approved training list before counting any course.
School-wide access comes with one yearly subscription. That covers every Indiana classroom from infants to pre-K and every teacher, with ELBY, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, family engagement tools and Spanish content included. You will not see per-room or per-teacher charges. Optional hands-on materials kits ship through Lakeshore Learning, and customers can get grant-writing support from our team.
Yes, every activity and family resource is in English and Spanish at no extra cost. In 2024 about 732,000 Hoosiers age 5 and older spoke a language other than English at home, and Spanish was the most common, at about 52% of them. Teachers can send each family the week’s learning in the language they use at home.
Yes. You get 30 days of full access for every classroom at once. Use it to compare the plans against the Indiana crosswalk for the ages you serve, and let a new teacher try ELBY in a real room. If you would rather see it first, book a demo and we will show you around.
Yes. Indiana licenses child care homes and registers child care ministries, and both can use the same platform as centers. A home provider caring for several ages can plan for infants, toddlers and preschoolers from one login, and a ministry gets the same weekly plans and family materials. Our family child care page explains how mixed-age planning works.
