Digital Curriculum Aligned to Oklahoma’s Early Learning Guidelines

Yes. OKDHS publishes two ELG guides, one for infants, toddlers and twos (birth through 36 months) and one for children ages three through five, and LBP has crosswalks for both across its four age bands. You can find the state guides through the OKDHS provider resources page and open LBP’s documents on our curriculum alignments page.

Stars lets a curriculum be self-developed, published or lesson plans, as long as it aligns with the ELG or Oklahoma Academic Standards. At three stars and above, ELG standards must be identified on lesson plans and the plans reviewed by someone trained in ELG; at four and five stars, learning is planned for each child from observation. LBP’s plans list ELG links and its assessment tool holds observations. Your star level still depends on every criterion.

Oklahoma Human Services, under the Oklahoma Child Care Facilities Licensing Act of 1963. OKDHS licenses 2,807 child care programs, including centers, part-day programs, out-of-school time programs and day camps, and uses regular monitoring visits. LBP gives each licensed classroom a written, age-appropriate plan and a running record of activities, which makes it easier to show how learning is planned.

Yes. OKDHS child care subsidy, funded by the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant, helps income-eligible parents pay for licensed care while they work, train or study, and payments go straight to the provider. LBP runs alongside that billing without changing it, so subsidized and private-pay children in the same room share one planned curriculum and bilingual family materials.

We do not claim they do. Oklahoma teaching personnel keep a current Oklahoma Professional Development Ladder certificate, which means 12 clock-hours a year at Level 1 and 20 at higher levels, and informal hours are capped. Approved training is listed on the Oklahoma Professional Development Registry. LBP University’s 49.5 hours of professional learning strengthen curriculum skills; check OPDR rules before logging any of them.

In 1998 Oklahoma became the second state to offer free preschool for every 4-year-old, through its school districts. When fours also spend time in your center, before or after their school day or over the summer, LBP’s 3 to 5 lessons follow the ELG guide for ages three through five, so those hours are planned too. Families can see observation notes and Spanish or English activity pages as children get ready for kindergarten.

Yes, at no extra cost. In 2024 about 461,500 Oklahomans age 5 and older, roughly one in 8, spoke a language other than English at home, and 69.8% of them spoke Spanish. Each LBP activity and family engagement resource is available in both English and Spanish, so teachers can share the same learning with every family.

One yearly subscription, school-wide. One subscription covers all of your Oklahoma classrooms and teachers, infant to pre-K, and includes ELBY, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, family engagement tools and Spanish content. You will not pay per teacher or per classroom. Lakeshore Learning fulfills optional materials kits, and our team offers grant-writing support to customers.

Yes. Home providers in Oklahoma often care for babies, toddlers and preschoolers together, and the ELG guides cover that whole range. LBP’s five age bands sit under one login, so a single provider can plan for each child’s age and share updates with families in English or Spanish. See our family child care page for how mixed-age planning works.
