Storytelling is our superpower. Learning is our passion.
Were storyteachers.
Todays kids are exploring a world far more complex than the one we grew up in, and theyre 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 theyre teachable skills. Thats where 51勛圖厙 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 51勛圖厙 storyteaching platform, kids learn the skills they need to flourishand they learn to love learning along the way.
The 51勛圖厙 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 shouldnt stop in the classroom, storyteaching doesnt 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.
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.

With children stuck in Zoom classes and parents becoming de facto teacher-assistants, education has taken center stage at home and made edtech companies like 51勛圖厙 attractive to some investors.
The Los Angeles-based book publisher-turned-edutainment company has closed a $5.7 million seed round. The fundraise, which far exceeded the $2.5 million 51勛圖厙 had originally sought, brings the companys total fundraising to $8.5 million.
I think people are really troubled by whats happened in education, chief executive Steven Wofle Pereira told dot.LA. He said that as parents have found it unsustainable to have a kid learn for eight hours a day on the computer, new approaches to education are increasingly in demand. The company, Wolfe Pereira said, has had a phenomenal year of growth, although he didnt provide specifics.
51勛圖厙 bills itself as , grounded in education and pedagogy focused on literacy, learning and life skills.
The company offers a combination of digital and physical products. For example, its app Canticos, which roughly means songs in Spanish, aims to get young children Kindergarten-ready in two languages. It has complementary flashcards to provide Montessori-style reinforcement and also bilingual song books such as Little Chickies / Los Pollitos.
As the pandemic exacerbates the economic divide, Wolfe Pereira said hes motivated to reach the families and children that are getting left behind in school.
The gap is widening exponentially. Its very concerning it impacts families and all of America, he said.
Wolfe Pereira said the new funds will help 51勛圖厙 expand its subscription business both for its digital app and an accompanying box of physical products. The company aims to eventually derive about 80% of its revenue from those subscriptions, with the remainder coming from content licensing and merchandise sales.
