⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hide and Seek Christian Academy is truly an amazing place! Our son Kyrylo attended this preschool, and we still look back with so much gratitude. The atmosphere is warm, caring, and welcoming. The teachers treat every child with love and attention, creating the feeling of a real family. The program is very well thought out: children not only learn and develop important skills but also grow up surrounded by kindness and respect. Every day Kyrylo went to school with joy and came back home happy. A special thank you for the wonderful activities, lessons, and care for the children’s spiritual growth. We truly believe that our child received a beautiful start in life thanks to this Academy. We highly recommend Hide and Seek Christian Academy to any parents looking for the best place for their children. ❤️

Hide and seek daycare is my son's first daycare experience, and I am so impressed by good environment and educational programs for each age group. The educators support both cognitive developments and physical developments through Montessori as well as play-based learning. Also, the teachers and directors are very kind and attentive, providing thoughtful individualized care. They are responsive to parents' needs and communicate openly and warmly. Hide and seek day care makes special events meaningful and family-friendly, giving us a chance to connect with other families and be part of the daycare community. I truly feel that my son is growing and being nurtured in the love of God. I am very satisfied with this daycare!

Hide and seek is the best school in Barrie. It combines Montessori and Christian school which is offering a comprehensive education integrating academic, spiritual and personal development. This approach promotes independence, critical thinking, and a love of learning through the Montessori method while grounding it in the religious values and moral framework of Christian education. Together, these philosophies aim to develop confident and compassionate individuals.

I don’t have enough words to express how wonderful Hide and Seek is! We are incredibly grateful that our daughter is part of this amazing place — it truly is the best choice we could have made for her. We feel so welcomed and supported, not just for our child, but as a family. From the very beginning, Ms. Allie, the coordinator, has been nothing short of amazing. She is kind, organized, efficient, and it’s clear she loves what she does. Our daughter is a toddler, and we feel so blessed to have Ms. Yassmin as her teacher. She is very experienced and knowledgeable, also deeply caring and passionate about early childhood education. She goes above and beyond, offering love, attention, and a true commitment to each child’s development. When I asked for help to support my daughter’s adaptation, she provided activities and guidance right away — and it worked very well! Ms. Krupali is also fantastic. She is always engaging with the children, playing with them, and showing them so much love and care. Our daughter, Lucy, is learning so much and having fun every single day. The program truly integrates faith, Montessori principles, and play-based learning. We feel so lucky and blessed to be part of the Hide and Seek community. Thank you to the whole team for making this such a special place!

We are so thankful for our time at Hide and Seek Christian Academy. The teachers were absolutely wonderful! They were always so welcoming, kind, and intentional in the way they cared for my daughter. They consistently spoke so highly of her and made her feel loved and valued every single day. I especially appreciated how they incorporated the Bible into their lessons, creating such a positive and faith-filled environment for the kids. It truly felt like a second home, and we are so grateful for the love and guidance she received there. Thank you Hide and Seek for helping her grow in faith and further expanding her knowledge of the Lord, all while fostering the beginning stages of her education.
