All of your Kentucky classrooms, from the infant room to the four-year-olds, can use the full curriculum on day one.
See a Kentucky teacher open the week's plan, gather materials and read ELBY's suggestion before the children arrive at the table.
Fifty-two weeks of plans for infants, toddlers, threes and fours, with the Kentucky standard each activity supports listed beside it.
We will tailor a demo to your Kentucky program: Type I or Type II center or certified family child care home, your All STARS level and the ages you enroll.
Learning Beyond Paper is the only all-in-one cloud-based early childhood curriculum with a virtual instructional coach. Kentucky subscribers get a year of plans for five age bands, 4,000+ activities, English and Spanish content, family engagement tools, an observational assessment tool and LBP University’s 49.5 hours of on-demand learning, with crosswalks to the Kentucky Early Childhood Standards.
Four Kentucky documents cover LBP's 0 to 12, 13 to 24 and 25 to 36 month bands and its 3 to 5 year lessons. Each one pairs a Kentucky standard and expectation from the 2013 edition, from cognitive skills for the youngest children to arts and humanities for threes and fours, with the LBP progress monitoring skills that build it.
ELBY lives inside the lesson. A Kentucky teacher can check it for a simpler way into the activity, a harder challenge for a confident child, and the behaviors worth noting while children play.
LBP University's on-demand courses sit inside the platform, so Kentucky teachers can learn the curriculum in short sessions at their own pace, alongside the cabinet-approved training the state requires each year.
All STARS Level 2 asks the director and half of teaching staff to complete 10 hours of professional learning in curriculum, instruction or teaching, and classroom and instructional quality can earn up to 20 points. LBP gives you standards-linked plans and observation records to point to during that review.
Kentucky center staff complete 15 hours of cabinet-approved training each year after their first. ELBY and LBP University fill the days in between, giving newer teachers guidance while they are with children.
About 325,800 Kentuckians age 5 and older speak a language other than English at home, and Spanish is the most common. Every LBP activity and family handout comes in English and Spanish at no added cost.
One yearly subscription opens LBP to every Kentucky classroom and teacher you have, infants through pre-K. No per-room fees and no separate infant curriculum to buy.
All of your Kentucky classrooms, from the infant room to the four-year-olds, can use the full curriculum on day one.
A Kentucky teacher signs in on a tablet or phone, picks the age group and sees today's activity, the materials it needs and a coaching note from ELBY.
The Kentucky Early Childhood Standards, 2013 edition. LBP publishes four Kentucky documents covering its 0 to 12, 13 to 24 and 25 to 36 month bands and its 3 to 5 year lessons, from the cognitive standards for babies to the arts and humanities standards for three- and four-year-olds. Open them on our curriculum alignments page. Lessons from infancy through pre-K also align to the Head Start ELOF.
All STARS scores four domains, and classroom and instructional quality, which may include curriculum, developmental screening and assessment, is worth up to 20 points. LBP supports that domain with standards-linked weekly plans, an observational assessment tool and ELBY coaching, and LBP University helps with the curriculum learning hours Level 2 asks for. Your level still comes from the full review, including environment visits at Levels 3 to 5.
Yes. The Child Care Assistance Program is run by the Division of Child Care in the Department for Community Based Services, and in the first half of state fiscal year 2026 CCDF-funded care reached an average of 41,331 children a month. LBP runs alongside your CCAP billing without changing it, and gives subsidized and private-pay children the same planned curriculum, Spanish and English family pages and observation tools in every room.
We do not claim that. Kentucky center staff need 6 hours of orientation in their first three months, 9 hours of approved training in the first year, then 15 cabinet-approved hours each July to June, and ECE-TRIS stores those training records. LBP University’s 49.5 hours of professional learning help teachers use the curriculum well; check that a course is cabinet-approved before counting it.
It helps with the planning side. Child care centers are licensed under 922 KAR 2:090, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services regulation that also sets staff training and the records a center keeps, such as a written annual plan for staff professional development. LBP adds a written, age-based plan for each room and a running record of completed activities and observations, all stored online instead of in binders.
It covers the children around it. The Kentucky Preschool Program, offered through school districts since 1990, serves 4-year-olds from families at or below 160% of the federal poverty level and 3- and 4-year-olds with disabilities, for at least 2.5 hours a day. For the threes and fours your center serves in its own rooms, and the hours before and after, LBP’s 3 to 5 lessons give a planned, standards-linked day with observation notes families can see before kindergarten.
Yes, with no extra fee. About 325,800 Kentuckians age 5 and older, roughly one in 13, spoke a language other than English at home in 2024, and about half of them spoke Spanish. LBP includes English and Spanish versions of every activity and family engagement resource, so families can keep learning going at home in their own language.
Yes. Certified family child care homes take part in All STARS alongside licensed centers, and home providers usually care for a mix of ages. With five age bands under one login, one provider can plan for an infant and a four-year-old on the same day and share Spanish or English updates with each family. More on our family child care page.
One yearly subscription. That covers every Kentucky classroom and teacher at your site, infant through pre-K, along with ELBY, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, family engagement tools and Spanish content. There are no per-classroom or per-teacher fees. Optional Lakeshore Learning materials kits and grant-writing help for customers are available too.
Yes. A 30-day free trial gives every classroom full access. Use it to compare the Kentucky crosswalk with your current lesson planning, have a newer teacher work with ELBY for a week, and show families the Spanish materials. Prefer a guided look? Book a demo and our team will walk you through it.
