Encantos

Encantos is a children’s entertainment and education technology company creating bilingual, multicultural stories and learning experiences for preschool and primary school audiences. Founded in 2015, the independent public benefit corporation develops original intellectual property across animation, interactive applications, publishing, consumer products, and live entertainment. Its work addresses a need for culturally authentic media and educational tools for multicultural and bicultural families.

The company describes its approach as storyteaching: combining story-driven entertainment with curriculum-based learning. Its content supports English and Spanish communication alongside global citizenship, critical thinking, emotional resilience, and early childhood literacy. Stories, characters, music, and interactive activities connect its educational material across different formats.

Stories across formats

Canticos, its flagship bilingual preschool franchise, draws on traditional Latin American nursery rhymes and songs. The Emmy-nominated brand spans animated sing-along shorts, sound books, bilingual publications, plush toys, and educational applications. Its digital content has generated more than 350 million streams, and its animation work has included programming partnerships with Nickelodeon. The Canticos Bilingual Preschool subscription app brings the franchise into interactive early learning on iOS and Android.

The wider portfolio includes Tiny Travelers, which introduces children to world cultures and geography through books, games, and activities. Skeletina and the In-Between World explores cultural traditions associated with Day of the Dead and ways of overcoming childhood fears. Other properties include Issa’s Edible Adventures, focused on food and cultural literacy, and This Is Cooler, a climate-consciousness and music series for children.

Development and distribution

Encantos combines creative development with digital product production, illustration, publishing, and merchandising. Its output includes preschool shorts, music videos, board books, activity workbooks, graphic novels, learning kits, and family products. The Encantos: Play, Learn & Grow app extends its storyteaching approach through a curated network of global creators. Alongside digital subscriptions and brand licensing, the company has expanded physical retail distribution and is developing theatrical experiences for family audiences.
