The Message
CHIPS is competent and professional.
It is first and foremost a school.
Education is the product.
Growth is the experience.
The educators, the methods, the philosophy, and
the students are the communication.
The dialogue about CHIPS is exclusively
informational. Never commercial.


Childs success is the message.
At CHIPS, children have the freedom to be
children, because we know that this is the
prerequisite for their growth.
Their natural curiosity is shaped into love of
learning.
Their creativity is guided toward discoveries.
Their active mind generates insights naturally.
Their love for movement is transformed into
educational play.

The child grows and develops, just as
Guiding Principles
Slogan
Where is it
growing?
Situated in a quiet area of
Chisinau city center, CHIPS
offers both privacy and
convenience.
The environment
Sensory Rich:
Mirror Triangle.
A magical inhabitable
kaleidoscope where objects (and
children) are multiplied infinitely.
The three mirrors create an
illusion of infinite repetition and
a highly stimulating sensory
experience. A shelter open on all
sides
Play-based Learning Model
Developing Gross Motor Skills:
Weave Sphere.
Sphere composed of flat elements
interlinked to form a soft
hollow solid which can be
disassembled and varied (sphere
and cube elements can be
interchanged to create hybrid
forms).
Interchangeable burrows and
shelters. Children can go in and
out move around recline peek
out.
Play-based Learning Model
Team Work: Lagoon.
Lagoon is an extension of the
Atoll form creating a small area
defined by soft boundaries that
can support and enclose the
youngest child. The mat fits
snugly within the space made by
the perimeter. Supportive
backrest, seating and microspace
element.
Play-based Learning Model
Stimulating Environment: Flower
and Stalk.
A complement to other soft
spaces or an independent cushion
and play element. The elements
can be stacked on a floor stand
called 'stalk'
