MEET CHIP

CHIP® is simply an acronym for Child Identification Program & also Child I.D. Products. We have developed a trademarked "child friendly" chipmunk named CHIP. CHIP is a father that is both youthful & very cool, that teaches children how to provide right answers and make proper decisions when they are put in challenging situations that can be potentially dangerous. We believe that children respond quickly and will make the right decisions when learning, by using a character like CHIP®. We have developed the tagline: Educate your child - Identify your child - Protect your child.

OUR FOUNDER - Mr. Marc R. Bakerman - President and Founder of CHIP The Child I.D. Program® is recognized internationally as an expert and the foremost authority on creating Child Safety Events for both public and private schools. His creativity and passion for "cutting edge" technology has led to the development of a complete line of child safety products, educational training tools & software that are receiving rave reviews. Over the past 15 years, Mr. Bakerman's record of unequalled commitment, vision and work ethic is what puts CHIP The Child I.D. Program® at the forefront of this most important industry.

Marc and his wife Karen share the daily duties of raising three young boys: they both understand the concerns of child safety in today's fast paced and sometimes dangerous society. Thus, the Bakerman's are beginning to achieve their dream of being able to create an organization that contributes towards the goodwill of society and provides an added measure of security to the children of the world.

WE CARE - CHIP® and its international network of "Program Directors" are active members of your community who genuinely care about the welfare of children. It is commonplace to find CHIP® working with local police departments, schools PTA's, elected officials and lawmakers in finding solutions to the dangers that face children on a daily basis.
