Family-owned and operated, The Hive Kingsville welcomes families from Kingsville, Yarraville and Melbourne’s Inner West. Just off Geelong Road, near Cruickshank Park and Kingsville Primary School, we offer long day care and an integrated kinder program in a warm, welcoming setting.
Our educators get to know each child and build on their interests through play and exploration. Children grow in confidence, form friendships and develop skills for a positive start to school.
Centre Manager Sai began her journey at The Hive Kingsville as a student in 2015. She has since worked with every age group and grown through educator and leadership roles. Sai values close relationships with families and the local community, while our founders visit regularly to stay personally connected with the centre.

Your Child’s Safety Is Our Priority – i9 SafeSteps
Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, heard and protected.
At our centre, child safety is more than a policy – it is at the heart of everything we do. Through i9 SafeSteps, our dedicated child safety framework, we are committed to creating a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.
Aligned with the National Quality Standard and Victorian Child Safe Standards, our framework focuses on nine key areas, including:
Guided by our C.A.R.E values – Create, Aspire, Respect and Empower – we ensure children's safety and wellbeing remain central to our everyday practices.
Because every child deserves to feel safe, supported and empowered to grow.
Our 9 Safety Pillars
At i9 Education, child safety is embedded in everything we do. Our i9 SafeSteps Framework focuses on nine key areas across three pillars:
Leadership & Organisation
Continuous Quality Improvement
Children, Families & Communities
Nine focus areas. One commitment: Every child feels safe, heard, valued and protected.
Structured around nine core focus areas and inspired by our CARE values:
The i9 SafeSteps Program is our organisation-wide commitment to creating environments where children feel safe, heard, and supported every day. We firmly believe that achieving genuine child safety requires collaboration at every level. This means management is working closely with educators, families, children, regulatory bodies, government, and the wider community, ensuring that no blind spot is left unchecked.

Our Philosophy – Learning Through Discovery
At i9 Education, we believe children are capable, curious and resourceful learners who learn best through meaningful relationships, play and exploration.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and leading child development theories, our philosophy recognises the environment as the third teacher, encouraging creativity, curiosity and discovery.
Our educators act as co-learners and guides, using intentional teaching to extend children's thinking, encourage problem-solving and support individual interests.
We value children's voices and work closely with families to create inclusive, engaging learning experiences where every child feels a sense of belonging.
Our Five Bee Programs
At The Hive Kingsville, learning creates a buzz. Our five Bee programs bring together nutrition, sustainability, creativity, movement and reading to help children explore their interests and grow in confidence.
Our educators weave these experiences into play, balancing guided activities with time for children to imagine, experiment and discover.
Healthy Bees | Nutrition
Daily nutritious meals help children discover new flavours and build healthy eating habits.
Green Bees | Sustainability
Everyday experiences encourage children to care for nature and make thoughtful choices about their environment.
Creative Bees | Arts
Art, music and hands-on activities give children opportunities to imagine and express their ideas.
Buzzing Fits Bees | Sports
Playful movement and sport-based activities develop coordination, confidence and a love of being active.
Library Bees | Reading
Stories, picture books and interactive reading spark imagination and a love of books.
These experiences also enrich our integrated kinder program and support children’s readiness for school.

Parent Communication – Staying Connected with KindyHub
At The Hive, we believe that open and meaningful communication is essential to building strong partnerships with families and supporting each child's learning and development.
Through KindyHub, our dedicated parent communication platform, families can stay informed and connected with their child's experiences throughout the day.
Our educators share updates on meals, sleep routines, learning experiences, educational programming and curriculum planning, providing families with valuable insight into their child's daily care and learning journey.
KindyHub also allows families to view photographs, developmental milestones, learning observations, centre announcements and upcoming events, keeping them informed and involved in their child's progress.
Because we believe families should feel connected to their child's experiences, not just at drop-off and pick-up, but throughout their learning journey. Through KindyHub, we bring families closer to the moments, milestones and everyday experiences that matter.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to The Hive Early Learning Centre, Kingsville, for providing such a wonderful, welcoming and nurturing environment for children. The centre has an excellent management team and a team of friendly, caring, supportive and professional educators who genuinely take an interest in every child’s wellbeing, growth and development. The management is well organised, and the overall atmosphere is warm, safe, positive and family-friendly.<br><br>Since my daughter started attending the centre, we have noticed significant improvements in her confidence, mental resilience, understanding and ability to interact and build relationships with other children. It is wonderful to see her learning new things, developing social skills and growing more independent every day.<br>We truly appreciate the dedication, patience and genuine care shown by the educators and management team. Their commitment for creating a positive learning environment makes a real difference in children’s early development.<br>Thank you to everyone at The Hive Early Learning Centre for your outstanding work and for making our daughter feel happy, comfortable and supported.

Our daughter has officially transitioned from the toddler room to the preschool room! The transition was smooth, thanks Hive team. I can’t believe how big the space is, the huge variety of activities, and the terrific staff who nurture her development. She is always so excited to go in the morning and buzzing with stories about her day when we pick her up. Huge thanks to the Hive team for making everything so special! #daughter #preschool #development #education #gratitude 🏫✨🥰
