The Orchard County racked up a fifth successive league win thanks to goals in either half from Niamh Henderson and Emily Druse.
They led 1-6 to 0-2 at the break after a dominant first half display as Henderson rifled home after being played through by Aoife McCoy.
Druse gave them a 13-point advantage at one stage in the second half when she scored their second goal before Leah McGovern slotted home what proved to be a late consolation for Kildare.
Also in Division One, Tyrone were thrashed 6-15 to 0-6 by an impressive Waterford side at Aghyaran.
Waterford controlled the game from start to finish and were well on their way to the win by half-time as they held a commanding 3-8 to 0-2 lead.
Lauren McGregor scored a hat-trick and they also had goals from Chloe Fennell, Katie Murray and Kellyann Hogan in their dominant win.
