Our Mission

Storytelling is our superpower. Learning is our passion.

We’re storyteachers.

Today’s kids are exploring a world far more complex than the one we grew up in, and they’re facing challenges we never imagined.

What skills do they need to navigate this fundamentally changed world?

The ability to think creatively and critically, to adapt and solve problems, to understand and feel at home in communities far beyond their own, and to express their thoughts and feelings with clarity.

These are the new fundamentals, and they’re teachable skills. That’s where Encantos comes in.

We know kids learn best through stories. So we partner with a diverse group of storytellers to create culturally rich, curriculum-infused storyteaching experiences.

Storyteaching engages and inspires kids to think on their feet, to connect with others from backgrounds different than their own, and to be curious and creative.

With the Encantos storyteaching platform, kids learn the skills they need to flourish—and they learn to love learning along the way.

Our Products

The Encantos app brings the storyverse to life and uses technology to help customize the experience so that our worlds grow as your children do.

But just as learning shouldn’t stop in the classroom, storyteaching doesn’t stop with our app.

By fusing physical and digital experiences, we expand our storyworlds to meet kids where they are, with the kinds of tools they love. Animated series, books, songs, apps, games, puzzles, and other products encourage kids to continue learning through play, curiosity, and engagement.

Giving Back

As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), each of our brands is tied to a family-focused social benefit cause to give back to a community. People want to work for, buy from, and invest in brands they believe in. We believe being a PBC is the most powerful way to build credibility, trust, and value with and for kids and families.

Encantos Gets Into The NFT Game

Author By Elizabeth Foster / Kidscreen Published October 20, 2022

EXCLUSIVE: The edutainment company is about to launch non-fungible tokens inspired by its preschool property Canticos, and is aiming to empower creators to build out their own IPs.

Encantos is launching a collection of non-fungible tokens inspired by its bilingual preschool property Canticos. They’ll launch in February, marking the first release of NFTs from a creator on the LA-based edutainment company’s platform.

Artist Susie Jaramillo (creator of the Canticos portfolio of characters) is behind this batch of NFTs, which will feature Kiki Chickie, one of the brand’s three lead characters, paying homage to female pop culture icons. Canticos was designed to help children learn in English and Spanish, based on the nursery rhymes, songs and stories Jaramillo grew up with in Latin America.

The NFT launch marks the beginning of a new phase of development for Encantos, whose upcoming projects span an animated series, expanded consumer products, publishing, events and a virtual metaverse experience. The company’s goal moving forward—and in the NFT space, in particular—is to empower its creators to build and own their IPs, says CEO Steven Wolfe Pereira. For example, the company’s recently launched Encantos app features “storyworld” channels where creators can connect directly with kids.

To keep pace with this growth, Encantos recently appointed Scott Traylor as chief product officer to oversee product development. And it also partnered with LA-based 3Pas Studios last year to develop new IPs branded as Encantos Originals.
