What S.P.L.A.S.H. Child Care Inc. does

S.P.L.A.S.H. Child Care Inc. is a Winnipeg-based, non-profit early childhood education organization founded in 2000 that operates licensed child care centers serving families with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. The organization runs five physical locations across Winnipeg — S.P.L.A.S.H. Child Care Inc. (233 McKenzie St.), Splash Child Enrichment Centre (363 McGregor St.), Splash Early Learning Centre / Urban Learning Centre (109 Pulford St.), Splash Faraday Satellite Centre (405 Parr St., opening soon), and Splash Mino Pimatisiwin Children's Centre (621 Balmoral St.) — making it a multi-site operator within a single metropolitan market.

Its core programs are the Forest School Program (summer-based outdoor education integrating Indigenous teachings, kincentric ecology, and land-based learning in Bunn's Creek and community parks) and the Nursery School Program (play-based early learning and school readiness). The organization differentiates on a Forest School curriculum developed since the early 2000s and delivered by certified Early Childhood Educators and Forest School Practitioners trained with Forest School Canada.

Revenue is generated primarily through parent fees for child care services (specific pricing is published on the company's fees page but was not provided in the source data), and the organization also solicits donations via CanadaHelps. Marketing and enrollment are driven through a website, monthly newsletters, Facebook, and a waiting list registration system. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors (2025-2026 term) and has no disclosed parent company, external investors, or technology platform beyond its public website.

Broad incumbents

• Kids & Company: Canadian corporate-sponsored child care chain with locations across multiple provinces. Comparable as a Canadian multi-site licensed child care provider serving working families, though it focuses on corporate partnerships rather than community-based centers.
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: Largest global operator of employer-sponsored child care and early learning centers with hundreds of locations. Comparable as a multi-site licensed child care operator, though it operates at vastly greater scale and across multiple countries rather than a single regional market.
• YMCA Child Care (Winnipeg): Non-profit YMCA-operated child care programs in Winnipeg. Comparable as a non-profit child care provider operating in the same Winnipeg market with similar licensed programming and governance structure.

Regional players

• Lullaboo Nursery School: Canadian nursery school and child care chain with multiple locations in Ontario. Comparable as a multi-site licensed early childhood education provider serving infants through preschoolers, though concentrated in Ontario rather than Manitoba.
• Wee Watch: Canadian licensed home-based child care provider operating in Ontario and other provinces. Comparable as a Canadian licensed early childhood education provider serving families, though operating under a home-based rather than center-based model.

Others

• Forest School Canada: National organization that trains and certifies Forest School Practitioners in Canada. Comparable as the credentialing body whose training standards S.P.L.A.S.H.'s Forest School curriculum follows, and which underwrites the credibility of the Forest School differentiator.
• Manitoba Child Care Association: Provincial industry association supporting licensed child care providers in Manitoba. Comparable as a stakeholder ecosystem participant that influences the regulatory and funding environment in which S.P.L.A.S.H. operates.

Direct peers

• Andrew Fleck Children's Services: Long-standing Ottawa-based non-profit child care organization operating multiple licensed centers. Comparable as a Canadian non-profit multi-site child care operator governed by a Board, though it serves the Ottawa region rather than Winnipeg.
