Graduate Highlights & Parents’ Testimonials
1. Shakila Aqila Freza
Daughter of Ms. Beta & Mr. Ade
Shakila’s journey at SKY Preschool was filled with joyful milestones and meaningful development. Her parents initially chose the school for its convenient location and the availability of a daycare program — something they deeply valued as working parents. But over time, they realized they had chosen much more than just convenience.
“We chose Sky Preschool because it’s close to our workplace and was the only preschool that also offered a daycare program. Shakila was very excited from her very first day at SKY Preschool. She really enjoyed studying here, especially making new friends—particularly from Japan and Korea. We’ve seen a lot of improvement in her pronunciation and vocabulary. After joining SKY Preschool, she has grown in many ways: she has become more disciplined, wiser, and more expressive with her feelings and opinions.
We also truly appreciate the teachers and staff, who are very professional and open in communicating with us about Shakila’s progress and development. We hope that the school will continue to offer even more engaging activities and programs for the children.
Overall, we’re very happy that Shakila joined SKY Preschool—she genuinely enjoyed her time here.”

2. Hazel Cordelia Surjadi
Daughter of Ms. Helena & Mr. Jevin
Hazel’s journey is a beautiful example of how language and character can grow hand in hand. When she first joined SKY Preschool, she could barely speak English. Two years later, she stood on stage, smiling with confidence and speaking clearly in English during her performance.
“We initially chose Sky Preschool because it’s an English-speaking school with a strong curriculum that we felt would benefit our child. We still remember how small Hazel was when she first came to SKY Preschool. At that time, she could barely speak English. But after two years, we’ve seen remarkable improvement in her language skills. Beyond her English ability, she has shown significant growth in her manners, attitude, confidence, gratitude, and overall personality.
All the teachers and staff at SKY Preschool have been incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. The school offers excellent programs and facilities. There are monthly field trips, nutritious meals provided daily, and the school building is new and always kept clean.
We’re satisfied with our experience at SKY Preschool, and we hope to see even more children benefit from this wonderful environment.”
Hazel’s story is a reminder of how powerful a nurturing and well-structured learning environment can be — helping children discover their voices, build confidence, and develop lasting values.
3. Serika Niioka
Daughter of Ms. Asako & Mr. Terry
Serika’s parents were deeply moved by the warmth and attentiveness of SKY Preschool’s educators — a deciding factor in choosing the school. From the very first day, Serika embraced her preschool life with joy and enthusiasm.
“The reason we chose this school is because the teachers truly and wholeheartedly value each and every child. We were so moved by how warmly and gently they welcomed the students, and that made us decide on this school. On the first day our daughter came here, she was just so excited. She kept saying how fun it was and that she wanted to come back the next day—she was really happy to go to school. Since she started attending this preschool, we’ve clearly seen how much she’s grown and how her personality has really blossomed. Even in daily life, she’s started speaking English, and we can truly feel her development.
The teachers are incredibly warm-hearted and compassionate, yet they also guide the children with just the right level of discipline. We really felt they were paying close attention to Serika and genuinely cared for her.
What we appreciate most is that the school provides such a wide variety of experiences. It’s a place where children can learn, play, and move their bodies — all in a well-balanced way. We truly think it’s a wonderful school.”
