Hi Ryan75,

Try these steps:

Right click on the folder which is to be hidden -> select properties -> Check the box beside Hidden -> Click Apply and OK.

To view this hidden folder follow steps in this link.

For more security, I suggest you to create another account on the computer for the children to login.
See this link on creating a user account.
