Learning Beyond Paper is the only cloud-based early childhood curriculum that combines a complete year of lesson plans, real-time coaching, bilingual content, and 49.5 hours of embedded professional development — all aligned to Maryland Early Learning Standards (MELS) from day one.
Every lesson across all five age groups — infant through pre-k — is aligned to Maryland Early Learning Standards (MELS). Alignment is tracked automatically in the platform, so documentation for Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) licensing is a natural byproduct of daily teaching, not a separate administrative task.
ELBY is built into every lesson and gives Maryland teachers real-time guidance — how to adapt an activity for a child who needs more support, how to extend it for one who is ready for more, and how to observe and document developmental progress.
New teachers in Maryland programs can be using the curriculum confidently on their first day — because 49.5 hours of professional development is embedded directly into every lesson. No separate training sessions, no training days lost, no extra cost.
When every lesson is already aligned to Maryland Early Learning Standards (MELS) and documentation happens automatically, Maryland directors walk into licensing reviews and monitoring visits with confidence — not a folder of improvised records.
In a state where childcare teacher turnover runs above 30% annually, a curriculum that guides new teachers through every lesson is not a luxury — it is an operational necessity. Maryland programs on LBP report significantly shorter onboarding timelines.
With English and Spanish content built into every lesson at no extra charge, Maryland programs serving Spanish-speaking families have a real curriculum advantage — without adding a single line item to the budget.
Directors running multiple classrooms across different age groups in Maryland use one $199/month subscription for everything — infant, toddler, preschool, and pre-k — under one platform, one login, one renewal date.
No credit card required. Your entire Maryland program — every classroom, every age group — gets full access to the complete curriculum immediately after signup.
A teacher in your Maryland program opens the platform on her phone, finds Week 1 for her age group, reads the activity setup and ELBY's coaching tip, and starts teaching. Total time from login to lesson: under two minutes.
Yes. Every lesson across all five age groups — infant, young toddler, older toddler, preschool, and pre-k — is aligned to Maryland Early Learning Standards (MELS). Alignment is tracked automatically within the platform, so teachers and directors in Maryland do not need to manually document standards connections. The platform generates the alignment evidence your program needs for Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) licensing and program quality reviews as a natural byproduct of daily curriculum use.
Yes. Learning Beyond Paper’s automatic standards tracking and curriculum documentation features are designed to support the compliance requirements of programs receiving Maryland’s Blueprint for Maryland’s Future (expanded pre-k funding). Directors can generate documentation of curriculum alignment, developmental domain coverage, and classroom activity records — exactly the evidence that Maryland funding bodies and monitoring agencies look for during program reviews.
Learning Beyond Paper supports Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) licensing licensing requirements by providing a documented, standards-aligned curriculum with built-in evidence of developmental appropriateness. The platform’s automatic alignment tracking means directors have a real-time record of which standards each classroom has addressed — documentation that licensing reviewers in Maryland can verify directly.
Teacher turnover is one of the most operationally damaging challenges facing Maryland childcare directors, and Learning Beyond Paper was built with this reality in mind. New teachers access the full curriculum immediately after receiving their login — no training period, no onboarding sessions, no separate professional development required. ELBY guides them through every lesson in real time, so a teacher on her first day in your Maryland program can teach with the same confidence as a ten-year veteran.
Learning Beyond Paper covers the full early childhood spectrum — infant (0–12 months), young toddler (12–24 months), older toddler (24–36 months), preschool (3–4 years), and pre-k (4–5 years). All five age groups are included under one $199/month subscription, giving Maryland programs complete curriculum coverage from the youngest infant classroom to the pre-k room preparing children for kindergarten.
Learning Beyond Paper is $199 per month for school-wide access — one price covering every classroom in your Maryland center from infant through pre-k. There are no per-teacher fees, no per-classroom charges, and no add-on costs for ELBY coaching, 49.5 hours of embedded professional development, bilingual English and Spanish content, or Maryland Early Learning Standards (MELS) alignment tracking. For most Maryland programs, this is less than the cost of a single paper curriculum kit — covering every age group for the full year.
Yes. A 30-day free trial is available with no credit card required. Your entire Maryland program gets full access — every classroom, every age group — from the day you sign up. Programs using ProCare Software may qualify for a 90-day trial. At the end of the trial, you choose whether to subscribe at $199/month — there is no automatic billing.
Yes. Bilingual English and Spanish content is included in every LBP subscription at no additional charge. For Maryland programs serving Spanish-speaking families — which represents a significant portion of childcare enrollment in many Maryland communities — teachers can access activity descriptions and family engagement materials in both languages, supporting both language development goals and family partnership objectives.
Multi-site childcare organizations in Maryland use Learning Beyond Paper to create curriculum consistency across every location — something that is nearly impossible with paper-based systems. When the curriculum lives in the cloud, every teacher at every site accesses the same lesson plan, the same ELBY coaching, and the same standards alignment documentation. Directors managing multiple Maryland locations can see program activity across sites from a single account.
Yes. Learning Beyond Paper is a complete, standalone early childhood curriculum — not a supplement to an existing system. It provides 52 weeks of daily lesson plans for every age group, embedded professional development, ELBY coaching, bilingual content, and automatic Maryland Early Learning Standards (MELS) alignment tracking. Maryland programs that switch from paper-based systems consistently report easier implementation, faster teacher onboarding, and significantly less administrative burden around curriculum documentation.
