Dear Parents,

Welcome to ISMILE Menteng! We are so thrilled to have you as part of our school community. Thank you for choosing and trusting us with your child’s early education journey. It is an honor to be a part of their development, and we are committed to making this experience full of joy, growth, and meaningful learning.

As we wrap up Term 1, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your support. Your involvement in your child’s learning – whether through encouragement at home, volunteering for a class activity, or simply being there for them every day – makes a world of difference. Your partnership not only strengthens your child’s growth but also helps us, as teachers, create a nurturing environment that fosters learning, creativity, and character development.

At ISMILE, we believe that strong collaboration between parents and the school is key to a child’s success. We encourage you to continue being involved and welcome you to participate and volunteer in our classroom activities.

Thank you once again for being such a vital part of the ISMILE community. We look forward to working together with you as we continue to support your child’s growth and development throughout the school year.

Sincerely yours,
Ms. Jackie

Nafas To Install Clean Air Zones in 7 iSmile Pre-School Campuses in Indonesia

As pollution in Jakarta and many other Indonesian cities continues to get worse, Nafas has been appointed as the air quality partner for iSmile Family of Schools in Indonesia and is tasked with bringing healthy air quality to 7 campuses in Permata Hijau, Menteng, Kelapa Gading, Pantai Indah Kapuk, P. Antasari (for Alam Atelier & BazGym) and Bandung. As part of the partnership, Nafas will be providing healthy air quality management, analytics & reporting as well as leading educational programs for parents across iSmile, iShine, Alam Atelier and BazGym  to continue to raise awareness about air pollution and public health.

Over 800 students attend iSmile Family of Schools, one of the top pre-schools in Jakarta, Bandung and Bali. The dedication of iSmile administration to providing the optimal learning environment for its students extends to ensuring that healthy indoor air quality levels are always maintained. 

For their schools that already have a Clean Air Zone, Nafas successfully reduced indoor air pollution by over 80% in classrooms at the Kelapa Gading campus in April 2024.  Unhealthy indoor air quality in schools provides a sub-optimal learning environment for children and long term exposure to PM2.5 reduces concentration, focus and can impair cognitive development. Nafas even published an article about this – The Smog Effect: How Air Quality Could Be Affecting Test Scores.

Clean Air Zones by Nafas are a subscription based B2B service which provides companies with air quality diagnostics, healthy air management, data analytics and real-time reporting of indoor pollution levels. The end to end service is the first of its kind in Indonesia, and already serves over 100 clients in offices, schools, small businesses and residential locations.
