About Us

Founded in 2017

Founded in 2017, Hi5 Childcare began its journey in Malahide Village with a mission to create an empowering and inspiring environment for school-aged children. Hi5 was born from the belief that children deserve a program that listens to their needs and wishes while fostering growth, confidence, and lifelong memories.

Six Thriving Centres

Since opened in 2017, we’ve expanded to six thriving centers across the community: three in Malahide, one in Portmarnock—our largest center— one in Sutton, and one in Kinsealy.

For Children Aged 4 to 11

Our program caters exclusively to children aged 4 to 11, offering a carefully curated blend of educational and recreational activities tailored to their developmental stage.

At Hi5, we focus on creating a space where children are not just cared for but empowered to explore, connect, and grow. Unlike crèches, which serve a broader age range, we take pride in offering a dynamic, age-specific environment where children of the same stage grow together, share experiences, and build friendships that will last a lifetime.

Colaborative Program

Safety, happiness, and individuality are our top priorities. Our programs are regularly updated based on feedback from the children themselves, ensuring every activity is fun, meaningful, and reflective of their interests. By involving children in decision-making, we nurture their voices and provide a sense of ownership in their journey.

Reputation in the Community

Our reputation is built on the trust of families and the strong bonds we’ve cultivated within our community. Word-of-mouth remains our greatest ally, with parents and children alike sharing their experiences and helping us grow.

At Hi5 Childcare, we’re proud to be a place where every child is valued, every family feels supported, and every moment is an opportunity to inspire.

        The Christmas show at Hi5 Childcare is always such a highlight for our family! Seeing the kids perform with so much excitement and pride is heartwarming. The effort the staff put into organizing it is incredible, and it really brings the holiday spirit to life. We look forward to it every year. Thank you!!!

            We couldn’t be happier with Hi5 Childcare! The staff are amazing, and my children love going every day. The activities are great. Both of my sons attend the breakfast club and three afternoons a week, and their favorite class is sports!

              As a mother of a child on the autism spectrum, finding Hi5 so close to our home has been an absolute blessing. The staff are amazing, always keeping me updated on WhatsApp if my daughter is upset. By the time we arrive, Hannah has often already calmed down and just wants to stay and play. I can’t recommend this place enough!

                My daughter loves the dance class at Hi5 Childcare! She comes home excited, practicing her moves and sharing what she learned. It’s her favorite part of the week. Thank you, Hi5!
