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 Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIP) from day one.
Every lesson across all five age groups — infant through pre-k — is aligned to Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIP). Alignment is tracked automatically in the platform, so documentation for Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) licensing is a natural byproduct of daily teaching, not a separate administrative task.
ELBY is built into every lesson and gives Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIP) and documentation happens automatically, Minnesota 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. Minnesota programs on LBP report significantly shorter onboarding timelines.
With English and Spanish content built into every lesson at no extra charge, Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota program — every classroom, every age group — gets full access to the complete curriculum immediately after signup.
A teacher in your Minnesota 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 Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIP). Alignment is tracked automatically within the platform, so teachers and directors in Minnesota do not need to manually document standards connections. The platform generates the alignment evidence your program needs for Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) 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 Minnesota’s Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) and Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). Directors can generate documentation of curriculum alignment, developmental domain coverage, and classroom activity records — exactly the evidence that Minnesota funding bodies and monitoring agencies look for during program reviews.
Learning Beyond Paper supports Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) 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 Minnesota can verify directly.
Teacher turnover is one of the most operationally damaging challenges facing Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIP) alignment tracking. For most Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota programs serving Spanish-speaking families, teachers can access activity descriptions and family engagement materials in both languages — supporting language development goals and building stronger family partnerships from the very first day of enrollment.
Multi-site childcare organizations in Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIP) alignment tracking. Minnesota programs that switch from paper-based systems consistently report easier implementation, faster teacher onboarding, and significantly less administrative burden around curriculum documentation.
