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.

Six Startups Filling the Growing Need for Online Education

Author

The Information

Published

October 20, 2022

Startups in educational technology, a growing sector often overlooked in the past, are now finding themselves near the front of the class.

More than 60% of U.S. public school students in grades K-12 started the school year remotely, according to data service Burbio. These at-home learners are feeding demand for an early wave of education startups and accelerating growth at newer companies in the field.

So far in the third quarter, venture investors have inked 46 ed tech deals worth $690 million, on track for the highest quarterly deal volume since 2015, estimates PitchBook. They’re anticipating consumers and schools will stick with the technology even after the pandemic passes.

American parents “have become more active in their child’s education as a result of Covid…we don’t believe they will go back to the old way,” said Jennifer Carolan, a general partner at Reach Capital, a San Francisco VC firm that specializes in education tech.
