OUR STORY
About Happy Hive
A story rooted in faith, built on love for learning, and dedicated to nurturing Malaysia's future leaders.
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Founded with Purpose
Happy Hive was founded in 2023 by Pn Arnie Nartika Naharudin under Intellectual Hive Sdn Bhd — born from a heartfelt desire to give Malaysian children the very best start in life, grounded in Islamic values and inspired by the world-renowned Montessori method.
Pn Arnie envisioned a school where every child is seen, heard, and celebrated — a place where joyful learning and strong faith grow together. That vision became Happy Hive, and today it has grown into a family of 16+ centres nationwide, each carrying the same warmth and dedication as the very first.
