School Coordinator Message

Dear Parents,

Welcome to a brand-new academic year at ISMILE! We are truly grateful that you’ve chosen us to be part of your child’s early learning journey. As parents, your role is invaluable in shaping your child’s first steps in education. We encourage you to celebrate every milestone—whether it’s a new word spoken, a brave attempt at a task, or a kind gesture shared.

At ISMILE, our teachers are dedicated to helping your children grow, thrive, and shine in a nurturing and joyful environment. We warmly invite you to be our partners in this journey—trusting our educators, sharing constructive feedback, and joining us in school activities and celebrations.

When parents and teachers work hand in hand, children gain confidence and develop a genuine love for learning. We believe it takes a joyful and peaceful village to raise a child. Together, let us build that village—one that nurtures children who are happy, confident, independent, and loving.

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” – Proverbs 22:6

With warmth and gratitude, 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.
