What is Storyteaching?

Stories are magical tools for teaching. We take enchanting stories and fuse them with curriculum-based learning to meet kids where they are and inspire a life-long love of learning. That's storyteaching.

What is Storyteaching?

We believe children learn best when they want to, and what kid doesn’t love a great story? Storyteaching takes the best of entertainment and fuses it with the best of education to meet kids where they are, as individuals, and make learning something they love.

The New Fundamentals

The world our children inherit will be fundamentally changed. They’ll need new skills to be their best—not just reading, writing, and arithmetic, but new fundamentals. Like the ability to think critically, adapt to change, and care for the people and planet around them. Encantos helps kids learn these new fundamentals to prepare them for a fundamentally changed world.

Aransas Savas

Wally the Worried Walrus

Aransas is a professional Wellbeing and Mindset Coach and the mom of two daughters whose worries sometimes get in the way of them being their best selves. We all worry sometimes, but so many kids programs send a message to just “be happy”. Ignoring our feelings doesn’t make them go away..it just makes them stronger and more confusing. Taking a deep breath, noticing and naming our worries can help us see them in open, creative and resourceful ways. Aransas created Wally the Worried Walrus to help her kids and others get in touch with their worries and learn important life skills for managing them, so they can play and learn more, and worry less.

Naibe Reynoso

She used her 30+ years of journalism experience to create books that positively reflect her community so new generations can feel cultural pride and learn about their heritage in a fun, engaging way.
