Learning Beyond Paper is the only all-in-one cloud-based early childhood curriculum with a virtual instructional coach. Louisiana centers get 52 weeks of plans for five age bands that line up with the state’s five ELDS age levels, Spanish and English content, an observational assessment tool, LBP University’s 49.5 hours of courses, and a full crosswalk to Louisiana’s Birth to Five Early Learning and Development Standards.
Louisiana's Birth to Five ELDS describe what children can do at five age levels: infants, young toddlers, older toddlers, three-year-olds and four-year-olds. LBP's Louisiana crosswalk lines each standard and its indicators up against LBP lesson codes for its matching age bands, across approaches to learning, social-emotional growth, language and literacy, math, science, social studies, creative expression and motor development.
ELBY lives inside every lesson and offers Louisiana teachers quick, practical coaching: a simpler path for a child who needs support, a stretch for a child who is ready, and cues for what to observe and record.
LBP University gives Louisiana staff 49.5 hours of self-paced professional learning at no added cost. New teachers learn the curriculum's routines while they teach, which helps them settle in faster.
Louisiana's Performance Profiles rate publicly funded sites using classroom observations. LBP tags each activity with a CLASS® key and gives teachers ELBY prompts about questions to ask and feedback to give, so daily lessons double as practice for the interactions observers look for.
Bulletin 137 asks early learning center staff for at least 12 clock hours of continuing education each center anniversary year. LBP's structured lessons and ELBY's in-the-moment prompts let teachers apply that training with children every day.
About 387,000 Louisianans age five and older speak a language other than English at home, and Spanish is the most common of those languages, according to Census data compiled by USAFacts. LBP includes Spanish and English versions of every activity and family resource.
Louisiana centers use one yearly subscription for school-wide access. Every room from infants to four-year-olds is included, so there is no separate purchase for each age level.
As soon as you sign up, each room in your Louisiana center can open the full curriculum for its age level.
In a Louisiana classroom, the teacher brings up today's activity on a tablet or phone, reviews the materials and ELBY's coaching note, and starts, indoors or out.
Yes. LBP’s Louisiana crosswalk takes each standard in Louisiana’s Birth to Five Early Learning and Development Standards and its indicators for infants, young toddlers, older toddlers, three-year-olds and four-year-olds, and matches them to LBP lesson codes for the same ages. It spans every domain, from approaches to learning to motor development. Find it with our other state documents on the curriculum alignments page.
Performance Profiles rate each publicly funded Louisiana site based on classroom observations, and they also report best practices such as ongoing assessment and curriculum use. LBP supports that work with a CLASS® key on every activity, ELBY prompts about teacher-child interactions and an observational assessment tool. Your rating comes from what observers see in your rooms, so no curriculum can promise a score.
Bulletin 137 is LDOE’s licensing regulation for early learning centers, covering any facility that cares for seven or more children for at least 12.5 hours a week. LBP gives each classroom a written plan and a running record of activities, which is handy to have ready for an unannounced licensing inspection. It sits alongside the licensing rules and does not change what Bulletin 137 asks of you.
LA 4 can subcontract with Head Start and Type III centers, and NSECD funds three- and four-year-olds in nonpublic settings, so many centers run a state pre-K room next to their younger classes. Those funded seats follow LDOE’s program requirements, which your partner school system or network can explain. LBP gives the infant, toddler and other preschool rooms in your building plans crosswalked to the same birth-to-five standards.
Yes. The Child Care Assistance Program is administered by LDOE, and providers enroll through the CAFÉ online system. Picking LBP does not affect CCAP eligibility or provider payments. It simply means children whose care is paid through CCAP learn from the same planned lessons, observation tools and English or Spanish family materials as the rest of the class.
Louisiana requires early learning center staff to complete at least 12 clock hours of continuing education each center anniversary year. LBP University’s 49.5 hours of on-demand professional learning come with your subscription and build teachers’ skill with the curriculum. Check with LDOE licensing before counting any of those hours toward the requirement.
LBP offers school-wide access in Louisiana with one yearly subscription. That covers every room from infants to four-year-olds, every teacher, ELBY, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, English and Spanish materials and the Louisiana crosswalk. Teacher and classroom counts do not change the price, and we offer grant-writing support to customers.
Yes. Spanish and English versions of every activity and family resource are included in each subscription. Spanish is the most common language other than English in Louisiana homes, ahead of French and Vietnamese, in Census data compiled by USAFacts. Teachers can send home the week’s activities in the language a family is most comfortable reading.
Start a 30-day free trial. Every classroom in your Louisiana center gets the complete curriculum right away, so teachers can test real lessons and you can review the Louisiana crosswalk. If it works for your program, start a yearly subscription for the whole site.
Yes. Each subscription covers one site, and operators with centers in different parishes or community networks can give every location the same plans, the same CLASS®-keyed activities and the same observation tools, which keeps quality consistent from site to site.
