BrightPath Barrie Childcare Centre
Overview
Previously known as Peekaboo Mapleview our daycare is focused on planting and growing our own natural elements both inside and outside of our daycare. This allows children to learn and discover nature and the world around them. Our daycare’s gym allows us freedom even during inclement weather days. We promote children’s independence and foster a love of learning in each and every child that walks through our daycare's doors.
Located in the south end of Barrie, BrightPath Barrie is situated in a plaza near the corner of Veterans Drive and Mapleview Drive, just minutes away from Highway 400 making it highly convenient for drop off and pick up. The centre has a large parking lot with attached sidewalks and secure front door complete with key code entry and the playground has a padlock gate.
Our daycare is licensed to accommodate 142 children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, this warm and inviting centre has large windows and high ceilings in each classroom making it very bright and airy. The centre also has two outdoor playgrounds, one for toddlers and one for preschoolers, each equipped with developmentally appropriate play structures, sand boxes, picnic tables and a mulch digging pit with additional shade structures to protect the children from the sun.
BrightPath Barrie is partnered with Supporting Relationships for Learning through Simcoe County. The staff at Peekaboo Mapleview were involved in developing a quality commitment plan and have committed to implementing specific identified initiative to build on in the classrooms.

Centre Director
Eileen has been working in the child care field for an amazing 38 years. She obtained her Nursey Nurse of the Education Board (NNEB) from Scotland. After she moved to Canada, she graduated with an Early Childhood Education Diploma from George Brown College. She has been part of BrightPath Barrie since the centre opened in 2009.
Eileen’s favourite part about being a Centre Director is building relationships with the children. She loves how that relationship extends to the families and enjoys interacting with them at drop off and pick up.
Eileen emigrated from Scotland in 1986 and started her Canadian adventure working as a nanny for an amazing family in Toronto. During that time, she met her husband and had two wonderful children who are now young adults. Eileen is an avid hockey and tennis fan. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching movies and spending time with her family. Eileen loves to travel and enjoys exploring new locations and countries.
