Permata Hijau Newsletter July-September 2024

Welcome Remarks | Professional Development | Jolly Phonics & Jolly Grammar Training | Teachers Training with Endinda Krista

Welcome to the July - September 2024 edition of our Permata Hijau newsletter! We have lots of exciting updates and stories to share this month.​
Good morning and a very warm welcome to all our dear parents, children and educators of ISMILE Preschool!

As we begin the exciting journey of this new academic year, it is my absolute pleasure to welcome back our returning families and extend a special welcome to those who are joining us for the first time. We are thrilled to have you as part of our ISMILE family and look forward to building strong relationships that will nurture your child’s growth and development.

A special welcome also goes out to our new educators and staff. We are blessed to have you with us, and we know that your dedication and passion will enrich our community and positively impact the children in your care. Together, we strive to create a nurturing and joyful learning environment for every child.

At ISMILE, we believe that the key to unlocking each child’s full potential lies in a close partnership between parents and educators. It is through this collaboration—working hand in hand, supporting, and encouraging each other—that we can guide our children to reach their fullest potential, both academically and personally.

We are also incredibly proud of our ISMILE graduates, who continue to excel as they transition to primary school. Their success is a testament to the strong foundation built here at ISMILE, and we are confident that this year’s students will continue in that same tradition of excellence.

Finally, as we embark on this new chapter, we give all the glory to God. It is through His grace and guidance that we are able to serve our community, and we pray for His continued blessings on each of our families, children, and staff throughout this year. Thank you, andIlook forward to an amazing year ahead filled with growth, joy, and learning.

God bless,
Ms. Halim Suheppy
School Coordinator, ISMILE Preschool

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.
