Learning Beyond
Learning Beyond (LB) was created by educators with over 150 years of combined experience as leaders in the Department of Education, Early Learning Coalition Directors, NAEYC PD Facilitators, State Curriculum Review Board Members, ELC Professors and Owners, Directors and Teachers who understand the challenges early learning providers face.
For nearly thirty years, research-based, classroom-tested curriculum has consisted of binders, books, and paper-based kits that can cost up to $40,000 and require replacing every three to five years. This model does not support a majority of early learning providers and is not sustainable. We believe teachers and our children deserve better.
At a time when early learning centers are struggling to hire and retain teachers, and qualified teachers, tired of feeling overworked and underpaid are leaving the field, the business impact of curriculum cannot be clearer. Hiring gaps and inconsistency in care from turnover impacts performance, creating challenges in other areas, such as enrollment, quality of instruction, and maintaining positive outcomes for children.
