Welcome to Splat!
Here at Splat! we believe every child needs a space to discover their spark. We offer that through drama and public speaking. Staying true to our principle that 'laughter leads the learning' our highly trained teachers bring their high octane, dynamically wonderful weirdness to provide the most fun imaginable! Our goal is to develop children’s self-confidence by allowing them the space to try new things and feel great while doing so.
