Sun Kids Academy

Sun Kids Academy at 4 Nicolae Sulac Street is the Ciocana branch of the Sun Kids Academy chain of private kindergartens in Chișinău. It takes children from eighteen months to seven years and works with a classical method that includes Waldorf and Montessori elements. The compulsory programme covers English, rhythmics, music, kids yoga, choreography and artistic gymnastics, and a psychologist observes the children regularly. In summer the branch runs a day camp with a themed programme. Website: sunkids.md.

Getting there: the kindergarten is in the Ciocana district, about 200 m from the Saint Parascheva Church and next to the Fidesco supermarket. The nearest public transport stop, “Strada Ion Dumeniuc”, is about 500 m away (a 6–7 minute walk), served by trolleybuses 12, 13, 23, 24, 26 and bus 23.

Parents rate this branch very highly. Reviews praise how the groups are organised, the attention and patience of the teachers and the varied activities, which go well beyond sitting at desks. The summer camp is singled out, with several families writing that they came back the following year. The recurring criticism concerns the inner yard, which is small, so walks also take place on the nearby playground. Visits are arranged through the form on the website or by phone.
