The
Messages from Parents
When
our littlest one, Amelie, turned 1.5, we started looking for
a preschool/toddler activity for her to attend. We found the
perfect one here in Belleza: ISMILE. We were quite impressed
with the school's facility and its super clean environment.
ISMILE also has a very friendly and experienced teaching staff.
Amy started going to ISMILE with me
twice a week and she has always loved going to school ever
since. She even wanted to always wear her uniform at home
:) ISMILE time is always a quality time for us to spend together,
as I am also a working mom.
She just turned 2 last month, and soon
she'll go up to Nursery 1 (N1 class) without mommy/nanny.
Just yesterday she had her trial, and she managed to spend
her first day in N1 without crying.
Thanks ISMILE, keep up the good work
and God bless!
Ms. Nathalia Surjadi, mother
of Amelie Irene Elisabeth Hartanto (Toddler Class)
We
are very grateful for the experiences that our children have
while attending ISMILE. My eldest son, Wallace has been in ISMILE
since it first opened with only one class, the Toddler Class.
I am glad that ISMILE focuses on quality instead of quantity
or popularity. The school environment and the teachers are the
best we could ever hope for. Both of my sons grew more confident
each day, not only academically but their personalities also
blossomed.
ISMILE has set them on a marvelous path
and we are forever grateful.
Ms. Joscelyn and Mr. Victor Luhur,
parents of Wallace (K2) and Egan (N1)
Joining
ISMILE has been one of the best decisions I have ever made
for my son, Nicholas. The teachers are dedicated educators
who focus not only in the academics but most importantly in
character building.
Ms. Alfisyah Lidanata, mother
of Nicholas (K1)
I
sent both my children to ISMILE since they were 9 months old.
What impressed me the first time I brought my toddlers to
ISMILE was the school's adequate facilities and cleanliness.
As I was accompanying my child to school I saw something deeper
about the school. I saw the principal and the teachers pouring
themselves out for the school. I saw their commitment in giving
what's best for the students. And this very thing gave me
assurance and convinced me to put my children in this school.
Both my children enjoy going to school and they learn so much.
ISMILE is a very balanced school. It lets children learn in
every aspect of life, and yet keeps a high academic standard.
Ms. Sandy Wijaya, mother of Benjamin (K1) and Mark (N1)
ISMILE
Plaza Indonesia is an excellent preschool. It has amazing
facilities and a full access to the Minniapolis facilities.
All areas are very clean. The staff disinfects everything
almost every day. This is my daughter’s second year
in ISMILE PI and I believe it has had a huge positive impact
on her development. The teachers are wonderful – very
nurturing, patient and caring. They made the school a safe
environment for children while developing their social skills
and confidence. I highly recommend ISMILE PI to anyone in
search of a great preschool.
Ms. Grace, mother of Josephine Harris (N2)
When
we first visited ISMILE, we were impressed by the cleanliness
of the school premises and its facilities. As a very critical
parent who wants the best for her children, I talked to Mr.Andrew,
the Principal, about the school program and curriculum, the
opportunities and challanges that our son, Josh will be experiencing
before we register him with the school. After the meeting,
we still have my doubt but finally decided to give Josh a
try at ISMILE.
Today, we can see that it is the right decision. Josh develops
to be a very independent and competent individual. He can
eat, drink and go to toilet without help. He can count, read,
loves music, natures, role-play, enjoy physical activities
and he can pray. He is a happy boy with strong character who
have interests and abilities in many different things. That
is what matters to us.
Thank you ISMILE, especially Mr.Andrew, Ms.Pat, Ms.Ellen,
Ms.Dewi, Ms.Halim, Ms.Erlina, Ms.Dolly and all of the management
and staffs that I cannot mention here. You have shown your
love, passion and compassion to the children regardless of
their races, Nationalities and backgrounds. Keep up the good
work. God Bless You All.

Ever
since Mandy attended school at Ismile, she frequently comes
home
with new discoveries and songs in English as well as in Chinese.
Among
the curriculum introduced at Ismile, we applaud a few good
quality programs
that we hope will continue at the school.
This Thursday morning, as she was getting dressed for school,
she asked
"Is today Thursday?... Hooray! It's Kindermusik day!"
Kindermusik is a truly
valuable source of learning. Mandy's ability to sing her favourite
songs
demonstrates that Kindermusik nurtures her memory skill. We
know that
this program will facilitate her higher learning in many,
many ways.
Fan Lao Shu's creative teaching methods and her joyful attitude
is perfect
for introducing Chinese Language. Where Mandy has previously
resisted
our efforts to introduce Chinese at home, lessons with Fan
Lao Shu has
proven a healthy start for her. Nowadays, she comes home proudly
displaying her growing Chinese vocabulary.
We also like the professionally designed kids' gym and the
lovely, spacious
outdoor garden.
Please forward our utmost gratitude to Miss Leni for her valuable
and professional guidance. She is the central platform to
Mandy's growing love for school and learning.

ISMILE
is more like a second home and a second family to us as it
is a school. Within its walls, my daughter is supported, nurtured,
challenged, encouraged to explore different activities and
interests and inspired to be involved and thoughtful community
member, not just a good student.
Now, as we watch our daughter grow we are particularly gratified
by the school's commitment to its Mission.
Through the Mission and values, along with ISMILE's challenging
academic program, we have no doubt that our children are being
prepared to enter the rich, diverse and complicated world.

What
I love about ISMILE is that the teachers have all been warm
and welcoming to all parents from the start. They treasure
our views and opinions and are always open to criticism and
striving for greater improvements.
I thank all teachers who treat us as a part of family, and
took the time to understand each and every child's unique
personality and nature, to bring out the best of who they
can become.
I thank ISMILE for their impressive hygiene in taking good
care and maintenance of all the facilities around the school,
so much so that a paranoid mother like myself has pretty much
nothing to complain about. Thank you Ismile.

My
children had spent their early years from one preschool to
another, each child nearly half a dozen schools. My first
child is now in primary and I still have two younger children
to be educated.
From those previous preschools we tried before, I couldn't
help noticing how insecure and misplaced my children were.
The teachers didn't really understand my kids and help them
on what was suppose to be their golden period of learning.
At ISMILE, from the first time my child entered the school,
I felt as if they have known my children for many years. They
understand who my kids are and how to embrace them.
Finally I have found a place where I have faith that I'm building
better lives for my children's future. Thank-you ISMILE!
