Every Washington classroom you run, infants to pre-K, can open the full curriculum on the first day.
Follow a Washington teacher from sign-in to setup: the day's plan, a materials list, ELBY's coaching note and children getting started.
Explore 52 weeks of plans for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and pre-K, with each activity tied to the Washington guidelines for that age.
Schedule time with our team to see LBP in your Washington program, whether you run a licensed center, a family home or an outdoor nature-based program.
Learning Beyond Paper is the only all-in-one cloud-based early childhood curriculum with a virtual instructional coach. Washington programs get a year of weekly lessons for five age bands, 4,000+ activities, Spanish and English materials, family engagement tools, an observational assessment tool, LBP University’s 49.5 hours of on-demand learning, and alignment to the Washington State Early Learning and Development Guidelines.
Washington's Guidelines group young children as young infants, older infants, toddlers and 3- to 5-year-olds, on a continuum that runs through third grade. LBP publishes a Washington crosswalk for each of its four age bands, so every lesson can be traced to the guideline it supports, which is exactly what a curriculum philosophy informed by the Guidelines needs.
ELBY is with Washington teachers as each lesson unfolds, offering a way to scale an activity down for a child who needs support, a way to build it up for a child who is ready, and reminders of what to observe and jot down.
Washington staff can complete 49.5 hours of on-demand courses in LBP University, included with the subscription. They learn to teach the curriculum and the philosophy behind it, which also helps when licensing standards say staff must be trained on your curriculum philosophy.
Licensing standards give lead teachers and family home providers regularly scheduled time to plan curriculum. With LBP, that time goes to adapting ready-made, guideline-mapped plans for the children in the room instead of writing every activity from a blank page.
Each Washington early learning provider completes 10 hours of in-service training a year, recorded in MERIT. ELBY's prompts inside each lesson help staff use what they learned with children the very next day.
Washington's licensing standards invite programs to explain how they meet the cultural and dual language learner needs of children in care. LBP provides every activity and family resource in English and Spanish, giving you a concrete answer for Spanish-speaking families.
One yearly subscription opens LBP to every room in your Washington program, infants through pre-K, with no per-classroom charges and no separate curriculum for each age.
Every Washington classroom you run, infants to pre-K, can open the full curriculum on the first day.
A teacher opens the week's lessons on a tablet or phone, reads the setup and ELBY's note, and leads the activity at the sensory table, in the yard or on a forest walk.
Yes. LBP publishes Washington crosswalks for all four of its age bands (0 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months, 25 to 36 months and 3 to 5 years), each mapped to the Washington State Early Learning and Development Guidelines, the birth through third grade guidelines DCYF publishes. Infant through pre-K lessons also align to the Head Start ELOF. Open each crosswalk on our curriculum alignments page.
Yes. Washington’s Foundational Quality Standards require every early learning provider to have a written curriculum philosophy that addresses all age groups served and is informed by the state’s Early Learning and Development Guidelines, and staff must be trained on it. LBP supplies the planned daily activities for each age band, already mapped to those Guidelines, plus courses in LBP University that help staff understand the approach.
Early Achievers is Washington’s quality recognition and improvement system, led by DCYF with Child Care Aware of Washington and Cultivate Learning, and programs that receive state funding must take part. Interactions and Curriculum is one of its five quality areas. LBP brings Guidelines-mapped lessons, CLASS® keys and an observational assessment tool to that work. It supports your quality plan but cannot earn a rating on its own.
Yes. Working Connections Child Care helps eligible families pay for care while they work, study or train, and families pay a monthly copayment directly to the provider. Because state-funded programs join Early Achievers, many WCCC providers are already focused on curriculum quality. LBP gives every child in those classrooms the same guideline-mapped lessons, observation tools and English and Spanish family resources.
Yes. Washington licenses outdoor nature-based child care, and those programs are part of Early Achievers too. LBP lessons open on a phone or tablet, so a teacher can check the activity, materials and ELBY’s coaching tip on the trail or in the garden. Many activities in the five age bands are easy to take outside, and each one keeps its link to the Washington Guidelines wherever it is taught.
We do not claim it will. Washington requires each early learning provider with 12 months of employment to complete 10 hours of annual in-service training, and all training must be recorded in MERIT, the state’s workforce registry. LBP University’s 49.5 hours of professional learning are included with your subscription and build curriculum skills; check MERIT or your licensor about how any outside course is credited.
One yearly subscription, school-wide. That includes every classroom from infants to pre-K, every teacher, ELBY coaching, LBP University, the observational assessment tool, Spanish and English content and the Washington crosswalks. No per-teacher or per-classroom fees apply, and LBP offers grant-writing support for programs looking for funding.
Every lesson and family engagement resource is available in English and Spanish at no added cost. Washington’s licensing standards suggest your curriculum philosophy explain how you meet the cultural and dual language learner needs of children in care, and the Guidelines themselves encourage respecting each family’s home language. LBP gives teachers ready Spanish materials to share, and the observation tools help them follow each child’s language growth.
Yes. Your Washington program gets 30 days of full access across every classroom and age band. Use the trial to compare LBP with your current curriculum philosophy, try ELBY with a newer teacher and open the Washington crosswalk for the ages you serve. Start a yearly subscription when you are ready.
Yes. Family home providers in Washington follow the same Foundational Quality Standards, including the written curriculum philosophy and planning time, and can join Early Achievers. With LBP’s five age bands, one provider can plan for infants, toddlers and preschoolers together from a single login. See our family child care page for how mixed-age planning works.
