One Learning Beyond Paper subscription gives a Rhode Island program a year of weekly plans for five age bands, bilingual English and Spanish materials, an observational assessment tool, ELBY’s in-lesson coaching and 49.5 hours of on-demand professional learning through LBP University. LBP also publishes a Rhode Island state alignment.
Rhode Island's standards are the RIELDS, which describe development from birth to 60 months across nine domains. LBP lists a Rhode Island state alignment among its curriculum alignments; ask our team for a copy and we will walk through it with you. Separately, every LBP age band from infancy to age five is aligned to the Head Start ELOF, so infant and toddler rooms have a published framework behind every activity.
Inside each lesson, ELBY gives Rhode Island teachers a quick nudge: how to scale an activity down for a child who needs support, how to push it further for one who is ready, and which moments are worth recording.
Rhode Island licensing asks program leaders and classroom staff for 24 hours of professional development each calendar year. LBP University's 49.5 hours of on-demand learning come with the subscription and focus on teaching the curriculum well.
The center regulations expect each classroom's weekly curriculum to name activities, materials and the relevant RIELDS, with three months of past plans kept on site. LBP writes the activities and materials for you and keeps every past week online, so teachers spend their planning time on the standards notes and the children in front of them.
Rhode Island's Center for Early Learning Professionals is the state's hub for approved training and technical assistance. In between those sessions, LBP's guided lessons and ELBY's prompts give newer teachers practice in front of children.
About 250,200 Rhode Islanders age 5 and older speak a language other than English at home, and roughly 60% of them speak Spanish. LBP's activities and family materials come in English and Spanish in every subscription.
A Rhode Island center uses one yearly subscription for every classroom from infants to pre-K, with one login and no separate curriculum to buy for each age.
Your whole Rhode Island program gets the full curriculum right away, so infant, toddler and preschool teachers can all test it with their own groups.
Teachers find the week's activities on a phone, tablet or laptop, along with the materials to gather and ELBY's coaching note, whether the group is at the sensory table or outside.
Yes. LBP lists a Rhode Island state alignment on its curriculum alignments page, and our team can send you a copy and walk through it. Rhode Island’s own standards are the RIELDS, published by RIDE, which cover birth to 60 months across nine domains. Every LBP age band, from infants to pre-K, is also aligned to the Head Start ELOF.
DHS licensing regulations ask each classroom to keep a weekly curriculum listing activities, the materials and equipment needed and the relevant RIELDS, and to keep the previous three months on site, in writing or electronically. LBP’s weekly plans already name the activities and materials for each age group and keep past weeks online. Teachers add the RIELDS that apply to each week, using LBP’s Rhode Island state alignment as a reference.
BrightStars is Rhode Island’s quality rating and improvement system for licensed centers, family child care homes, public preschools and school-age programs. RIAEYC manages it for DHS on a one-to-five scale. LBP supports quality work with a planned curriculum for each age group, CLASS®-keyed activities and an observational assessment tool, the kind of evidence a program can bring to its next rating conversation.
Rhode Island center regulations ask the Education Coordinator or Site Coordinator to meet with each teacher at least monthly to consult on program planning and on plans for individual children. LBP keeps every classroom’s weekly plans, materials and observation notes in one online place, so a coordinator can review a month of teaching before the meeting and spend the time on the children rather than on finding paperwork.
We do not claim they do. Rhode Island licensing requires program leadership and classroom staff in year-round programs to complete 24 hours of professional development each calendar year, and the Center for Early Learning Professionals is the state’s hub for approved training. LBP University’s 49.5 on-demand hours of professional learning are included with your subscription; confirm with DHS or CELP before counting any of them.
Yes. The Starting RIght Child Care Assistance Program, run by DHS, helps eligible Rhode Island families pay for care for children under 13, or under 18 with special needs. Using LBP does not change how CCAP authorizes care or pays providers, and we make no reimbursement promises. It gives every child in the room, subsidized or not, the same planned lessons and family materials in English and Spanish.
Yes, with no add-on fee. In 2024 about 250,200 Rhode Islanders age 5 and older spoke a language other than English at home, and about 60% of them spoke Spanish, according to Census data compiled by USAFacts. Every LBP activity and family engagement resource is available in English and Spanish, so teachers can share the week’s learning in the language a family uses.
School-wide access comes with one yearly subscription. Every classroom and teacher is included, from the infant room to pre-K, along with ELBY, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, family engagement tools and English and Spanish content. There is no per-teacher or per-classroom charge. Hands-on materials kits are available through Lakeshore Learning, and LBP offers grant-writing support to customers.
Yes. A family child care provider often has an infant, a couple of toddlers and a preschooler in the same day. LBP’s five age bands let one educator plan for all of them from one login, with Spanish and English family materials. BrightStars rates family child care homes as well as centers. More detail is on our family child care page.
