 Q: How is Love To Learn different from other schools?

A: N1-N2 level in LTL is less academic but full of fun activity to build the love of learning English, and to help the 2-3 y.o children to socialize and follow common rules. However, K1-K2 level is a little bit more academic. LTL prepared 4-5 y.o children for elementary level, while the method is still fun and natural, so they won’t realize that they actually learn a lot of things. Love-To-Learn is the first model school in Indonesia that uses GrapeSEED curriculum for English.

 Q: Can a child be accompanied by his mother or nanny in the class?

A: We understand that for the first time of school, some children have separation issues; some need more time to get used to the school environment. We are very flexible about the time needed, because each child is different. Guardian is welcome to class as long as needed for N1 class, but for N2 class we limit the period for max. one month. Although the hardest separation case might need about six months, we will try our best to make the child feel comfortable and secure to enter the class on his own as soon as possible. This flexibility is hard to find in other preschools.

 Q: What if the child can not follow the lesson?

A: If the child can not follow the lesson because he is too young (not age-appropriate) for the class, he will be asked to stay in the class for another year. But if it is because of other reason, we will make sure that he can catch up with the lesson by giving him extra tutorial, without any extra fee.
